Do you seat your bullet to OAL or ogive length

[QUOTE="woods, post: 370506, member: 6042"] That's pretty much it. And for those that keep saying that the distance from the base of the bullet to the ogive is irrelevant, I am just using that variance to show how the bullet ogive can give variance to seating depth and distance from the lands. I am just a hunter also and only shoot hunting bullets in hunting calibers but if I were a benchrester then I would certainly sort bullets by bearing surface because I do think that it makes a difference. So in that context, while I would say that the distance from the case head to the point on the bullet where it contacts the lands is most important, I would also say that the consistancy of the shape of the bullet and the consistancy of the bearing surface does have some effect on your group size and will have some effect on the other.
