[QUOTE="Shootin4fun, post: 3078394, member: 28741"] Old thread, but now a new variation has arrived that I'd like to understand how to deal with before running experiments. I haven't needed to buy any for a few years but just bought another few boxes. Berger has changed the base to ogive on their 135gr 6.5 VLD Classic Hunters from .708 to .693, so .014 shorter. The overall length has not changed much at 1.320+/-. I can actually see the change in the shape of it with the naked eye. Obviously this might not have changed the jump or maybe it has. I have a great load with the older shape. We know there are a few factors related to measurements of distance to lands / cartridge base to ogive, and seating die setting. So I'm wondering if I should just try seating some to the same CBTO as my established accurate depth, or if I will have to go through a round (no pun intended) of seating adjustment experiments? Of course with a change in shape we can't assume that the die setting will remain the same to get the same CBTO. Any thoughts on this? [/QUOTE]
