[QUOTE="Lonewolf74, post: 1384860, member: 96274"] Not wanting to start an argument hear just healthy debate. I think you guy's are a little off in saying you need a fire formed case for base to ogive measurement. I could be wrong but base to ogive should remain the same regardless of head space because your essentially measuring the distance from your bolt face to where the bullet touches the lands. So regardless of where the shoulder is the overall length (base to ogive) will remain the same. What would change is the depth of the bullet if you where to measure from case neck to ogive. I use both methods to double check things and I find the Hornady modified case set up to be more consistent and I believe this is because with the fire formed case that I modify by slitting the neck jams the bullet and it gets pulled out some on extraction.
