I have been very fustrated the last few months with
trying to figure out the Berger Bullet thing where it almost
seems every different lot has a different bearing surface length..
I use a Sinclair "acorn" bullet comparator to measure from the
ogive to the base of the boattail.. I use mostly 6 mm bullets for
my 6BR's , 6Dashers, and my 6BRX.. I have used both the 108 BT
Match and the various 105 VLD match and orange boxed 105VLD's
designated Hunting.. Just when I got a killer load with the 108 Match's,
I ran out of lot 1673 and plugged in lot 2077 and the same load
was the pitts... I check the bearing lenght and it was more than
.020 different.. some are .040 different what goes on here?? I thought Eric S. said the 108's had remained unchanged..?? Also said the 105 Thin Jackets had remained unchanged ????The same with the 105 VLD's.. lot to lot variations
make having to try another load development series necessary.. ANyone else
besides me about ready to pull your hair out.. I love Berger Bullets of the past but
too many changes and too much lot to lot variation now..
I would appreciate your thoughts and is my technique valid for measuring bearing length??
advise and thanks in advance=
