Hello, first post here.
I've been shooting Nosler Custom and Trophy ammunition in .308 cal. Mostly 165 grain partitions, but also Accubonds. The loaded cartridges appear to have a very aggressive factory crimp, or a cannelure on the bullet. I suspect the former, because the OAL on the Trophy partitions is a bit greater than on the Customs. I have never seen a cannelure on a Partition bullet, but know they were once available.
I will soon start reloading for my hunting ammunition. I may or may not use a Lee FCD. So, I would like to know about the crimp on the Custom and Trophy cartridges.
Regards!
