[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 402615, member: 13632"] The easiest way to see why the comparator is needed is to pull out a few bullets and measure them with out the comparator, you'll find that you get a fairly good range. Then measure the same bunch with the comparator you will see that your range is much narrower with the reason being that the tip of the bullets can of or crunched but the o-give should be a stable place to measure from. This keeps you from chasing your seating depth because of bullet tips. In sizing your trying to fit the case to the chamber but during seating your trying to fit the bullet to the throat and find the sweet spot. Your looking for the shiny spots where your comparator and bullet meet. I've had good luck just doing it this way and when I get the bullet just touching the lands I glue it and write the info on the case so I can reference it later with ease when my notes go missing, I also do this when I find the sweet seating depth so I have a case that is the for the lands and a case that is for setting seating depth.
