[QUOTE="Leyerly338, post: 630915, member: 42650"] Sounds to me like you are using a Comparator as well but I could be wrong. It won't give You OAL since it measures to the Ogive, which is what you want for seating depth. OAL can very due to Bullet length varience unless You use a meplat uniformer. All I'm really worried about is seating depth so I know how much jump off the lands I have. I have heard of some making a dummy round for Die set up by using an un-primed uncharged brass, seat the bullet too long and then chambering it using the bolt to seat the bullet all the way. That would give you Your chamber length to the lands. Not sure how well it would work, I have never tried it. [/QUOTE]
