[QUOTE="brentc, post: 1748533, member: 16938"] The long Bergers bottom out in mine with a 338 insert. The easy fix for me was to use a 30 cal insert. The insert's only job is to reference from the same location on every bullet. It doesn't matter if it's directly on the ogive. In fact, I'm betting none of the different tools reference off the ogive on every bullet make and shape. I also don't believe that every insert that Hornady manufactures for a given diameter is the same as every other one off the assembly line, which is why I can get a different measurement with one Hornady 30 cal insert than from another Hornady 30 cal insert. As long as they reference off the same spot on every completed round, the tool is working. [/QUOTE]
