Hi chaps,
I'll try and explain as best as I can, please bear with me! Been using Nosler partitions 140gn to good effect but not wanting to pay £50 for 50 bullets so have decided to go with Sierra game Kings 140gn at £28 for 100, I have been reloading the Noslers .020" off the lands but come to measure the overall length with the Sierra game Kings and found that the taper off the boat tail is halfway up the neck of the case whereas the nosler were flat bottomed and have full contact around the bullet from the neck of the case, what would you advise regarding the Sierra game King's! Shall I have the over all length measured so that the neck of the case has full contact with the bullet and the boat tail is below the neck of the case, or shall I use the overall length of the chamber with the boattail half way up the neck of the case which I'm not too happy about.
Kindest regards
Gary
