A few questions for all you ammo experts out there....
Took the .243 rifle for a walk yesterday and put a few federal factory rounds (100gr Sierra Gameking BTSP) through to practise/check zero and when I came to pick up empties I noticed this cartridge had split quite badly.....how often does this happen? what causes it and can it affect the accuracy of the bullet?
I also noticed a difference in bullet seating depth between two batches of ammo. Is this common?
Cheers
