Load tolerances

[shooting charley]

Hi Guy's i need a bit of advise here i have been working hard to try to get the tolerances down on my bullets after reloading. The thing is i am not sure what is acceptable as i can't see how you can get them all identical ?. This is what i am getting and i can't seem to better it, what do you think.This load is for my .204 Ruger

 

Case length after trim = 1.840 to 1.841.

 

Ogive = 1.929 to 1.931

 

COL = 2.247 to 2.249

Well, for my money I'd say that you've got it well and truly nailed. If your charge weight is equally accurate, there's going to be a shortage of foxes in your neck of the woods.

I'd say sounds pretty good but the real evidence is firstly what they do on paper and then what they do on charlie

Well the load is a load i have used for some time now i have got it to around .275@ 100 yards so i am happy with that but i don’t like gray area’s when it comes to re-loading just wondered what other people get with the tolerances.
