The UK's Finest Independent Forum for Shooters and Gun Owners. Est 2010.

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

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.

also you should measure to the ogive for a propper comparison

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.

Awesome.

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

John MH. You really must get a hobby and get out more!!!!

Brought it back from the USA myself.

It is my hobby.

So watching that thing whirring, clunking and hissing away isn't boring? :lol:

I am impressed
