[QUOTE="MSURunner, post: 2925425, member: 102961"] I would also point out that the Hornady OAL gauge is one really tough tool to use effectively. I've left mine in the case at this point because of the inconsistencies that I would get. I find it much more accurate to create a dummy round and color the ogive with dry erase/sharpie and play with OAL length until I can get a mark from the lands. Then I back it up. There's a lot of research as well about there being a seating depth node that is not so close to the lands. Depending on cartridges, you can move those lands relatively quickly and if you're needing to be tight on the lands to get your result, you will likely work yourself out of the sweet spot in a hurry.
