[QUOTE="Texas Republic, post: 770298, member: 19878"] Ok. I may be a little over my head now. Here is my problem. I load a 175gr SMK at 2.80 COAL. I adjust my die usually on the first bullet to get this legnth. From what I understand, you don't want to keep adjusting your seating die up and down to reach a 2.80 COAL once loading rounds bc your ogive will vary. Keeping the seating die the same will produce bullets with the same ogive OAL. This is assuming of course that each bullet ogive is the same. When I do this I will get very different COAL on many rounds. I assume it's bc the differences between the ogive and tip of many bullets. That's fine. I ordered the bullet comparator to ease my mind and measure each bullet ogive prior to seating them so I know they will rest in the rifling the same. If the COAL is different then so be it. But right now I have no idea. I just know that some will measure 2.80 and others 2.72. That bugs me. My thought process correct? [/QUOTE]
