ok, so I'm sitting at my bench tonite trying to do so prework for reloading my 300 rum. I have a box of Nosler accubonds 180 gr. and a box of Nosler partitons 180 gr. I called Nosler and asked them about reloading info for the accubonds, since it wasnt in their manual. Their tech said "use the info on the partitons they are the same, as long as the weight is the same" so I pull out my new Stoney point comperator, and measure both bullets from the ogive. The partiton measures out at .670-.672. the Accubond measure .762 (two diff bullets) now my question is, how can the load data be the same when the one bullet is obviously longer, would'nt this seat the bullet deeper, thus potentially giving me a compressed load if I use the data from the shorter bullet? I am confused, and a little scared, because of the amount of powder, this cartridge holds. I dont want to blow my brand new gun up. Am I overlooking something, or being to picky? As a side note, I have a box of factory ammo, (rem ultra 180 nosler partitons) so I measured one of those rounds from the ogive, just to see how far they seat their bullets, and man do they have them pushed down in there. If I seat my accubonds from the ogive to the depth that remington seats their partitons, I feel sure I will be compressing this load!! I hope bigcountry can come over to my house this weekend, and clear some of this up, but any thoughts?? I think I am gonna wait and not do anything till I hear somethings from you guys!!
