Ok I'm getting restless again and fancy tinkering with a new load,
I've got a couple boxes of 208's on order, my question is this..

My pet load is 178 amax with a 10 thou jump, this just nicely clears my AI mags..
Is the 208 amax nose profile the same as the 178's? Is it reasonable to assume I'm still going to fit them in my AI mag with same 10thou jump?
Or are they a longer profile forward of the ogive?

It's not going to stop me from trying them, but I prefer to use a mag if possible.
