[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 991781, member: 5219"] I will never forget the first time I measured the base to tip measurement on my loaded rounds. I couldn't figure out why they were different. I also tried to adjust the die for each round. The effort actually changed distance of ogive to lands in a random manner making things worse. The measurement of the tip to base is only useful for making a loaded round fit a magazine. It is the relationship of ogive and how far it is to the rifling/lands that matters. It is one of those things folks new to handloading eventually figure out. [/QUOTE]
