[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1083291, member: 50867"] I believe I understand your point Mike. But I've found that trying to explain to new reloaders that CBTO isn't enough all by itself (because bullet weights, bullet lengths, bullet bearing surfaces, etc. vary widely even in the same caliber caliber) they sometime become confused. Even with matching CBTO, longer bullets will often be seated deeper into the case and/or the COAL will be different. Those factors affect accuracy and if they're not fully understood can be frustrating. Therefore, I advise them to avoid comparing CBTO on a factory round with the ammo they're reloading and to just remain consistent with logging and tracking data for the bullets and cases they're putting together.
