Thread: 6.5prc 147eldm CBTO

How much variance?
Using the comparitor takes a bit of a knack......one nees to rotate the case till the shortest measurement is found.....this measurement is generally consistant, just putting the case in the calipers and measureing is not.

Im useing redding dies and the ATip and the CBTO is within half a thou which is the resolution of my calipers.
While the atip is a premium consecutively packaged bullet I wouldn't think the eldx or m would be drastically different in ogive in one box.

Double check tip not contacting in seating stem.
Use a dry lube inside seating stem so it doesn't "stick" and slightly pull bullets on withdrawal.
Consistant neck tension and case lengths?
Inside necks vld chamfered and cleaned?
Necks should not be shiny brass cleaned,they can pick up and gall on the bullet.....leave the carbon on just clean with a nylon brush or very lightly with a bronze.
