[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 370249, member: 1521"] No offense, but in this area, you've seriously departed from reloading reality. Max OAL tools are only used for making max oal (land contact point) reference rounds,, with particular bullet/ogive types seated. Having done this, put the tool away,, it did it's job. Put that reference round in a drawer for future checks of land movement, and all seating reference -with that bullet, in that chamber. DESIRED seating depth is ONLY bullet ogive to lands. You externally measure that 'reference round' created, just like you will the rest of your loaded ammo. [This is where I always use 'the nut'] Variance in bullet lengths makes no difference at all, as ogives of same bullets don't vary much in RADIUS. For different bullets[ex; VLD to AMAX] you modify another case, and create & hold another reference. [/QUOTE]
