Good morning Dimner,
I have just picked up the latest Midsouth version of this bullet. I went with the lee mold because of the long throats in the Swedish military rifles. My measurements are similar to the first ones you list above, my metal is WW with a small amount of Linotype. My question is two part, what size do you size your bullets to, and why do we need a bullet that is so thick? My bore is not anywhere close to .270, but I am willing to try a few. I understand the long bullet, and this bullet is long, but what was the thinking behind the larger diameter?
Thanks for your time,
Mark
