[QUOTE="Welderboy11972, post: 1913753, member: 91394"] Ok guys someone needs to school my simple minded, hillbilly self. Maybe I'll learn something here. In the op's photos, 2 show 15ths differences from base to ojive of loaded round. 2 show photos of base of bullet to ojive. How are these two measurements related? 2 of the photos you are checking base to ojive of loaded round to ensure that you have the right bullet seating depth. (Jump to lands) Your setting die is responsible for giving you this measurement. 2 of the photos you are checking base to ojive of bullet. This is part of the bullet sorting. You are checking to see if the baring surface or the boat tail is longer/shorter than your cull measurements. And without a second comparator, you really don't know if its the baring surface or the boat tail thats longer/shorter. I can't figure out how you got 15th difference in both bullet measurements and loaded rounds. In my simple mind there's only 2 ways these measurements could be the same. 1- The secant of the bullet is 15th off. (Where the die contacts the bullet). Whats the odds of that happening. To check secant- determine where your die contacts its. (Color a bullet with a sharpie, load it in a case, and use the closest caliber hole on your comparator. It doesn't have to be exact. Its for reference only when bullet sorting)...Its part of my sorting. 2- your setting die has issues. Either manufacturer or operator. [/QUOTE]
