If I noticed a difference that large I would be on the phone to Sierra about it. Having said that I would first check to see that my bullet seating process wasn't causing the bullets to bulge as they are seated. Douse the nose of the bullet touch the seating die? I drill my punches and make sure that the punch actually pushes on the ogive rather than the tip because some bullets will deform if there is just a bit too much pressure put on the nose. Use you comparator to measure just the bullets - right out of the box then check them again after seating. I bet you will find that the seating process is the reason and not the bullets. |

Base to ogive should be at +/-0.001". Ogive to tip can and will vary up to 0.010" and more on hollow points. These may not be seconds but were mixed from different lots run on different machine set ups. Sort them or send them back. Just for fun check out your caliper too. It may have a repeatability issue of its own. Take ten measurements of the same bullet to be sure you get the same number. |
