Was reading the thread on what happens to a bullet that is chambered several times and how it can get "set back" to the point where it would be dangerous to use. I shoot 9MM, and those of you who do probably are familiar with Winchester White Box, American Eagle, and CCI Blazer for practice. Well, I bought several boces of the UMC (Remington) 115Gr FMJ at a good price, and noticed right away that the bullets are uniformly "lower" than the other brands. Has anyone else noticed this? UMC all seem to be the same way because I got boxes from 2 lots and it was all the same.
UMC setback???

Remington's overall bullet length is likely shorter than Winchester or Federal, its not an error, thats just the bullet design ie pointier bullets=longer overall, rounder bullets= shorter overall (given the same weight).
THanks! I didn't think it was an error because they were all that way. It just is a big difference from the other brands. If you were to compare a UMC round to a CCI, you would think for sure it was set back unless you saw the rest of the UMC box.
