[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3263420, member: 15054"] Both of these suspects are Flat base with plastic tips. No cannelure. the V-Max has a slight bevel at the base very slight but you can see it and the Nosler has just about NO bevel. When i place these into a case we will see how they load in ..I use VLD chamfer so it may prove a benefit and not peel material off the bullets. My goal in this test is to see if one groups tighter than the other with same load. I will shoot them in my bolt and my AR and check velocities. I will also check seating depth to the lands in my bolt gun. When I placed the bullets upside down into a resized case and measured the length of the case to base of the bullet there was .025" difference. So the Ogive is slightly different. OAL of the bullets are withing .002" of each other Diameter is .224" as measured on both of them. So when measuring and looking at them there is a slight difference between the 2. My local supplier never seems to have the V-Max in stock but had these Nosler Varmageddon bullets so might as well try them. [ATTACH=full]141628[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]141629[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
