johnbu Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I'm swtiching to a new bullet supplier and did the usual tests and measures to see how they stack up. I thought it might be helpful for newer reloaders to see what is involved in figuring out if a new bullet is promising or not. Not an expert, but this is how I go about it. I measured the weight of 12 randomly pulled bullets. 125.5 125.5 124.8 125.1 125.8 124.5 125.3 125.1 126.2 125.2 124.8 124.8 Average weight was 125.2 gr Same bullets , measured the diameter; Eleven were 0.3560, one was 0.3555. Average was 0.3559" I don't like coatings that color my fingers. So these were rolled back and forth in hand for 30 seconds. No green fingers. I use a bullet feeder. So just dumped in a double handful and let it run. all went in without drama or any adjustments to the system. Did "Plunk test" in a factory Tanfolio Lim Pro barrel {not reamed}. Pass plunk MAX OAL was 1.125" I would recommend a OAL target of 1.120". Ran about 50 at that OAL. Set up a target at my normal red dot zero distance of 35 yards. first 6 shots Good enough for me!

That's what my guns prefer, so i never looked or asked for any other diameter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhunter Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Looks like a good price, and I bet that new profile can be loaded longer than the RN. When will they be available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpom Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Just spoke with proprietor of DG bullets, said that while website has not been updated the new design is available for purchase, same price as 124 round nose. Just need to request it in the "notes" section. Same for alternate sizing. May be a while before site is updated to reflect its avaialability.

OptimiStick Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I’ve got a weight / deviation comparison I did across about 10 different Bullets. Most of the usual suspects in the coated, and then MG and Precision Delta for jacketed. DG, Acme, Precision and Blues were in the coated from what I can recall (spreadsheet is at home ). PM me if you want the spreadsheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
