Barlow said:Thanks for great responses. I have found the 105 Amax to be extremely consistent in base to ogive length, (at least so far). I do not measure them, except when seated. I use a Forster mic seater and may have to adjust the length on 5 or 6 out of a 100. Maybe those few rounds should be sorted, but I have been including them in my match box. I didn't think .002-.003 difference in bullet bto would make much difference, but maybe it does. I did notice when I chronographed a few rounds the other day I had one round that was enough slower 3044, compared to the rest (total of 6) that were 3067-3077 that would probably show up at 1K. Maybe I should clean up that part of my loading process. Input welcome. Thanks, Barlow
