[QUOTE="The Oregonian, post: 1083909, member: 51405"] Many thanks...the above makes sense but on one point I want to make sure I clearly understand what you are saying. I got the CBTO comparator tool. On known good ammo my tool gives about 10 hundredths longer measurement (2.5xx vs 2.6xx on my tool). I think you are saying that is fine as different tools will give different measurements than each other, but as long as it is known on YOUR own tool, you can replicate. I believe this is bc an ogive is not a specific, universal point on various bullets. i.e. on a .308 bullet it is not as easy as saying it is the point where the radius is .306 in diameter...so each comparator will have its own version of where the ogive is. Is that accurate? Thx [/QUOTE]
