Can someone help me out with a base to ojive measurement for the .308 cal Hornady 3031 150gr sp bullet? A member was nice enough to provide the o.a.l, but I need the base to ojive as well. I could also use a c.o.a.l on factory Remington .308 150 gr core lokt ammo.

I get .480" using a caliper mounted Hornady comparator.

That is a fairly inconsistent Bullet and I have found that the ogives are all over the place. Even worse from older to newer. I stopped using them for that reason.

I’ve found that to be the case on all brands I’ve measured. Hasbeen

Very true. mathman's bto measurement is what I was after, and ballpark enough for my purpose. Thanks all...
