[QUOTE="Broz, post: 903637, member: 7503"] That was a method I used many years ago. I used a sharpened lead pencil at the crown to make fine lines to measure from. But I like the Hornaday tool method better. It eliminates the variation you get in bullet tips and allows you to take a measurement with the comparator to get the measurement from case head to o-give of the bullet seated on the lands. That is what we are after, not where the tip is hanging. Bullet tips will vary -.010" plus on hollow points. Different strokes..... just depends on what you are looking for I guess. Jeff [/QUOTE]
