Came up with a cheap way to finally seat these pesky Hornady HPBT's consistently. 22-250 case cut with a tube cutter. Find a good group of bullets with flat tips to get your baseline. Then subtract you're actual OAL from your measurement to get the constant so you can use it to seat to any depth consistently.



Example, Actual OAL 2.245"

Measured OAL with cut case 2.550"

Difference of 0.305"



So if I want to change my actual OAL to say 2.30", I'd add 0.305" to 2.30" = 2.605" to get my actual 2.30" OAL but now consistently since the tips on these suck.
