LongRange,
Would you mind further explaining about base to ogive measurement? I'm a newbie to reloading and still trying to fathom it all.
This is what I did, and what I found;

I had dumped 10 from box labeled p/n 22616 (qty 250) and 15 from box p/n 22261 (qty 100) into a small bowl to aid loading, so I had to measure all to get them sorted. All measured with Hornaday Comparator on Hornaday digital calipers.
p/n 22616 lot measured base to ogive .385 and OAL was .775
p/n 22261 lot measured base to ogive .398 and OAL was .768
All were weighed. The only difference between the p/n's was qty in box. They are supposed to be the same bullet.

All were very consistent within the lot with one exception of one bullet weighing .1 gr more on my balance beam scale.

Those numbers made me think the new batch had a much different profile as it was shorter and ogive was further forward, like it was an A-Max instead of V-Max, but as far as I know, they don't make an A-Max in 50 gr.

Normal lot variation?
