[QUOTE="LaHunter, post: 1797216, member: 54963"] In my opinion, I don't think that is a bad spread. The real measurement is to shoot them and see how they shoot. There is going to be some variation from bullet to bullet, even in the same lot. There will be some error in how firm you make contact with your calipers also. Remember, your comparator contacts the bullet in a location on the ogive, which is going to be different from your seating die, and both of these contact points are going to be different than the location of your rifle bore / rifling.
