Berger .308 210gr length?
I have a Browning A-bolt 300wsm that I want to shoot the 210s out of. I have loaded the 185gr, but they sit back about .120 from the lands. I was hoping the 210s would sit closer, since they buck the wind and carry energy better.
Thoughts?

I have found in the past "like style" bullets from the same manufacture (such as nosler BTs) of different weight "usually" has the same ogive geometry, the difference in wgt comes from adding lenght to the shank and there by making one seat the bullet deeper in the case while the ogive to lands and COL remains the same.
I`ve never used Bergers though and they may be different.

Thanks guys. Going out shooting to try the Creighton Audit method on my 300wsm. I just found out that my 300 had some copper fowling that needed remedied.
