[QUOTE="cedarswamp1, post: 369239, member: 21889"] You aren't doing anything wrong, but you need to decide whether you want a repeater or to be set .010 off the lands. I've never measured a factory Remington that would allow both. Also once you're measuring to the lands, you can pretty much forget OAL, it only tells you how much bullet is hanging out in front of the lands, your critical measurement is to the ogive. Don't worry about getting perfect results with your comparator. Take 10 reading and see which number keeps popping up the most and figure that as your "ogive OAL" Your going to drive yourself nuts, if you are trying for the same exact number for each round, too many places where that could go wrong.
