Thanks for the replies.

handloader1, I never thought about it that way. Thx

spaniel, sorry to confuse you. That was a lot of measurements I put out there. The ogive measurement I got with the Hornady gauge for the 140g Accubond in my chamber was 2.330". The ogive measurement with a factory load of the same bullet is 2.210". The jump would be 0.120". I have heard that you want between 0.010" and 0.020". Don't know if 0.120" would be one of the causes for poor accuracy. If I seat the bullet to attain maximum OCL, it would give me 0.020" bullet jump with the 140g Accubond.

statjunk, thanks for the reply. I guess I will just have to reload some and see what I get.
