I had a question about bullet shapes and got straightened out by a local shooter...

I was worried about the shape of bullets shown in this Lyman reloading book.



He answered my question pointing out I was looking at cast bullets... I was wondering why the 7 mm Rem Mag bullet was much like the one that Lyman said wasn't as accurate. I had a misspelling on his answer. I hope I corrected it properly.

You are looking at cast boolits.

There should be one for Jacketed, and each of your bullet weights should have a different "Ogive".

If you are using your 7mm Mag, you will not be using Cast Boolits.

Like I said you need to load "Mag Length", on your 30/30, to what your tube mag can handle.
