[QUOTE="North Idaho Hunter, post: 2069316, member: 73428"] Soft seat jam has been more consistent for me when I seat the bullet out just enough to engage rifling. I’ve found that if you seat the bullet too far out initially then close the bolt you can get a wide variance in jam measurements - I believe the big differences in measurements your getting is from leaving the bullet seated too long for the test......try seating the bullets deeper beforehand ——seat them out just enough so the bullet doesn’t have to meet as much resistance to “jam” as for getting a wide variance from jam measurements vs. comparing it to the Hornady tool-I’m not surprised at all. With the comparator tool your measuring where the bullet just kisses the rifling vs. the actual jam. Hopefully that’s not too confusing 😆 [/QUOTE]
