[QUOTE="jbarber, post: 1012276, member: 85536"] Just got the LNL OAL gauge for getting the OAL for my 338 LM. I'm going to load 225 gr. Hornady SST. I decided to measure 5 bullets seated in the modified case to get an average length. After getting the five measurements I noticed I was getting a variance in length anywhere from .008 to .010. This seems like a lot of difference in lengths. I'm using the .338 comparator insert and obtaining these measurements from the ogive. Is this a normal variance? I'm not using too much pressure when pushing the bullet to the lands so the wire should not be flexed when I lock it in place. Any help with this would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
