I got bored
After finishing reloading, looking out the window at the snow coming down and not fancying a sub zero session in the workshop, I though let's do that long overdue bullet o.a.l comparison, so here are the results based on a total random amount of each type (a hand full out of a box)
Lapua 6mm 105g approx 20 measured < 1 thou
Berger 6mm 105g approx 22 measured > 3 thou
Sierra .308 155g approx 18 measured 2 thou
Sierra .308 175g approx 20 measured 2 thou
Sierra .308 190g approx 20 measured 2 thou
After that the rugby started

Re: I got bored
You obviously were't bored enough otherwise you would have measured the variations in both the length and +- in weight as well.
Promise us that the next time you get bored you will be bored properly.

Re: I got bored
I got bored yesterday so decided to do a bit of annealing.

4000ish cases later:

The machine is a joy to use, fill it up and just set it off.

Did you buy that before they imposed the ITAR no-export rule, or did you negotiate or find a way around it?
