It's just that the 110grainers are so stumpy, there's hardly any straight shank to play with - so to seat them to the point where they are close to the lands, they are only seated about a 1/4" into the neck of the shell...
I don't know if that's going to be a safety issue with pressure spikes, or perhaps some other factor?

You may have the soft points and they could be a shorter bullet. That Hornady Spire Point design brings the bullet closer and not further towards the throat.


I've got ballistic tips, I've also got a batch of Hornady 150gr. which also shoot badly.
I'm probably wrong, but I thought that the spire point, being sharper than the more rounded Nosler, would still require a bit of a jump to the lands even when they are seated at the same length as more rounded projectiles.

I've always had good accuracy results with round nose projectiles. Poor BC though.
