Although I'm relatively new in the CB arena I have shot at a high level for decades. I confess to being O/C with nearly every step my reloading. Recently I received 500 x 2 of a different maker's H&G 68 200 gr. .452's. I have had wonderful results shooting Montana's Penn's, and Dardas. I will not name the maker of this latest batch.
I load this bullet to maintain a 1.260" OAL to minimize jump and still work in all mags. With this latest maker's bullets I weight sorted as I always have but as I seated them I noticed a significant variance in the amount of shoulder visible above the case neck...more than normal to nearly none. Upon measuring the length of the bullets I found .016" variance...but only a fraction of that with the above listed makers.
I don't cast and am willing to pay more for a superior product. Please advise how this can be when the listed makers produce such uniform bullets.
Blessings and stay well,
Brooks Harris
