They do not. It is not putting rifling marks in the bullet ogive, it is not really leaving marks at all. I haven't had a free moment yet to mic them but it looks like there is a difference in the rim to the naked eye.

The Winchester and Remington rounds, as well as some of my reloads, are all 100 grain SP's as well as the PPU rounds. I don't think it's the bullet, it's something with the casing. FWIW the PPU's are from two different boxes bought at two different places/times.. one at Cabela's about a month ago, one at a gun show a couple weeks before that. Along with mic'ing them, When I get finished loading up some 22-250 stuff I have the bench set for, I am going to probably pull the bullets from a couple of the PPU rounds and run the cases through my sizing die and check the length of the casings.. then reassemble them and see what happens.
