Wemberly sorry mate should of said Armageddon ballistic tipped but thanks for your quick reply. Once together it is a cartridge. The dimensions given are for the Varmageddon. PS Just a pointer, perhaps although I know nothing about the 17 Hornet and its ammo'. But I do know about the big brother. Had been using 40g V Max perfectly happily but decided to go for the 40g Nosler version and walked straight into a problem with pressure although well, well down fron any of the load limits. I never did find out for sure as I knocked it on the head but the rifling bearing surface of the Nosler from the ogive to the base was far greater - longer - than the of the Hornady and I wondered if this could have been rsponsible for the higher pressure - was using Lil Gun. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow white Posted September 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 Wymberley will check that out I was wondering how far it goes back in to case that’s why I wanted the length from tip to base I set rounds to the ogive as some Hornady rounds are not all the same even with same batch num on them I only vermin shoot but I like things right.

wymberley Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 Size and trim and then measure a case. Measure and take the average of five bullets. Insert the one nearest to the average bullet back to front and carefully measure the overall length. You do the maths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
