Nosler Custom Competition Variances

[WeekendBrewer]

Hey,
I recently started loading some 6.5 123gr Nosler Custom Competitions, but the base to ogive measurements seem to vary as much as 0.010"...
Cheers

How do they shoot?
I like the 155 NCC in my 308 Win. Seemed very easy to get good accuracy.

Never tried those, but I could never get 6.5 140 RDF's to shoot. Consistency in bullets just wasn't there.

I stick to products such as Lapua brass and Berger bullets now, rather then try and chase the "new shiny". They are consistent and just work. It's easy to get a load to shoot well with good quality components (and a good rifle). It's much more frustrating when the quality and consistency isn't there.

Thanks, yes Lapua 260'brass, BR2, 46.3gr 4831SC, with 123gr NCC...seem to group easily at 100yds in the 3's...only a few groups @ 200yds in the .780" range.
Cheers

They were priced well too when I bought them. Nice shooting WB.

My 6.5CM does not like 120gr bullets at all, left group is 120gr PRVI BTHP, middle is FL sized brass with 140 Nosler CC, right is NS with 140 Nosler CC, 100M
