[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 977206, member: 1521"] There is a misconception here about bearing to base comparison -vs- seated distance to lands(DTL). They have nothing to do with each other.. Even ogive radius variance rarely affects DTL. This affects only meplat diameters per nose length. The big hitters in seating variance is a poor fitting stem, and high/inconsistent seating forces. I do not agree with Boomtube about seating variance as less important. best/worst seated DTL is the single largest affect to accuracy. There is a point that is best and the window is not always broad. But anyone should be able to seat bullets to well within 1thou. [/QUOTE]
