[QUOTE="Unofficial Gun Addict (UGA), post: 992009, member: 81139"] Hey BigE, I've got 3 different sets of calipers from your harbor freight to a mid range, to a dial. All three give me the same reading exactly everytime as long as I zero them out, so I'm not sure I'll be spending money on an expensive set again, down the road. I do just leave my comparator on a single caliper, not because I'm worried about different measurement readings, but just ease of use mostly. I have both Hornady and sinclair comparators but I don't mix and match... And find that I just use the hornady pretty much exclusively. I've also found that measuring off the ogive provides the best results for me with consistency from round to round, although with the 250 batch of berger vld hunting bullets I purchased, i have found that there are still slight variances in length and weight when sampling the entire batch. It doesn't seem to have too significant effect on accuracy as I don't feel that I have to shoot bug holes to be satisfied with my results. 1/2 moa is sufficient to keep me smiling... and 3/4 moa will put a grin on my face also. My smile tends to be inversely related to my group size, but my happiness is not dependent on it. Any day out shooting is a good day. The idea of drilling out your seater seems like a great one... I do think you'll find the comparator helps and is an excellent investment. Shoot some pics when you hit the range and get a workup you are happy about. Would love to see em. [/QUOTE]
