I have been loading up some 140 Accubonds and Ballistic tips for my 280 Remington. I have to load them pretty short to get them to fit in the magazine box. I am measuring 0.1348 off the lands. That seems to me to be a pretty long jump. 140 and 150 Partitions are loading .035 off which doesn't seem unreasonable.
Just how important is that sharp pointy tip on the AB and BT? Seems to me that flatting those tips would give me length I need and still provide expansion. A little loss of BC maybe.
Maybe they will shoot just fine and group tight. Who knows? Any useful opinions welcome.
