[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 362231, member: 12"] You may not be asking the right question. If it is a magazine gun, you normally do not have a choice. You are limited to max magazine COAL. If it is a single shot, you CAN go out to touching or even in the lands. This is normally measured off the ogive where it touches the lands. In that case OAL has nothing to do with it and you use where the ogive touches as the key measurement with a comparator. you will find down the road, that measuring off the ogive (where the bullet touches) is the more uniform measurement. If you sort bullets with base to ogive and then measure the same bullets OAL, you can find as much as .017 variance in OAL or more. BH [/QUOTE]
