[QUOTE="Broz, post: 628674, member: 7503"] 300 SMK's have been around longer so you will find more posts about them. Plus if a guy has the 300 SMK all worked up for his long range rig he may not wish to change. If you are not using a comparator to measure to the ogive you will never get consistant seating measurements off any hollow tipped bullet. The tips or "meplate" will vary as much as .010" So you simply can not measure seating deth off the tips. Really, all you should care about is the measurement off the O-give to the case head. This is where you want to measure to keep track of how far off the lands the bullet is. Where the tip is, is only important for magazne fitting. Jeff [/QUOTE]
