The bullet measures .854 Long. I was shooting 110 gr. T7 by volume.

You are correct the weight is at the rear...

All I know is they shot great and I remember going in 'I wonder'

There was not even any hint of wobble with the 230's at the target on the other hand the 452x240 did show wobble at the target when shot from the 1-48 twist Renegade.
