[QUOTE="victor, post: 163158, member: 3361"] Goodgrouper, I'm surprised at your answer. Seating depth of your bullet is determined by the seating cone on bullet seater making contact on the bullet ogive. So in essence, by default, your bullets will be seated exactly the same where it counts (Ogive to land contact distance). Over All Length on the other hand is determined by placing a pair of calipers on the loaded round and measuring from base to tip. This measurement does not count for accuracy but does count for fit in your magazine. Yes overall bullet length does vary considerably (more so in some bullet manufacturers than others, maybe .006). This is because the tolerances on the polymer tips or lead tips is not controled as tightly as the ogive of the bullet itself. At least I think that's what the poster was referring to.... See ya, Vic [/QUOTE]
