[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 859380, member: 1521"] The cleaning rod method is sound. Better is the R-P tool, which further refines the cleaning rod method. Measuring to the tip is not a problem, because it's representative of THAT bullet, for COAL of your master. After measure you load the master to matching COAL with THAT bullet, and then measure it's OgvOAL with a comparator that you always use. Log this value. With this, you can reproduce seating w/resp to the logged value. This number doesn't represent a truth, but your load development results do. And all that matters is that you can reproduce THAT truth. When you change bullet types, do it all again.. Find the new truth You know, the only reason to measure Max OgvOAL is to know in load development when you're contacting lands & causing a step change in pressure. Other than that, it's really of no value. [/QUOTE]
