Sierra bullet info needed

[kberch]

If anyone has some Sierra .224, 53 grain Match King bullets in their inventory could you please give me a measured dimension of base to ogive. I am looking for a flat based bullet without a boattail for my 222 Remington Mag. My rifle seems to like the bullet close to or slightly into the lands for best accuracy.

0.369" with the Hornady 2-22 insert. The Berger 52 Target is 0.328". I use both.

I should mention that I shoot the Berger at 2.26 COL in my 223 Remingtion 700. Tthe SMKs are shot at either 2.250 or 2.200 COAL. Both are jumping but I don't remember the actual amount.
