[QUOTE="Mike6158, post: 370354, member: 1039"] [LEFT] Yup... you speak the truth. Even "high dollar" bullets have variations. I use a Mic gauge to set / check seating depth and I see this all of the time. I used to jack around with each and every one but, like you, I found that for hunting and non-competition shooting it didn't make a crap one way or the other. I can't stand using OAL for measuring and setting seating depth... since it's pretty much MEANINGLESS :D sorry... didn't mean to yell... actually I did... On the topic of ogive- the ogive is the curved part of the bullet, not a spot on the bullet. I wonder if the diameter Woods is seeing has something to do with the height of the lands... since the caliber of the rifle would be measured between the grooves, not the lands. Since we are seating on the lands... not the grooves, that would make the most sense to me :) [/LEFT] [/QUOTE]
