[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 292985, member: 4885"] The way I do it is as follows. 1) find out the longest I can seat a bullet without touching the lands. (several methods to do this, ask if you can't find it using search) 2) seat it deeper an appropriate amount for the type of bullet I'm loading (typically between .005" and .030") 3) use a consistent motion to seat each bullet. I usually measure every round just to make sure nothing has moved. I seat the bullet and measure while my RCBS chargemaster is weighing the next dose of powder. There are a couple good ways to measure base to ogive, you can get a tool that attaches to your calipers that is made by hornady (they call it a bullet comparator), check this link [url=http://www.hornady.com/story.php?s=485]Hornady[/url] it is down a little. The other way is to buy a little hex nut that has different size holes in it. Like this one from sinclair [url=http://www.sinclairintl.com/product/5581/Bullet-Comparators]Bullet Comparators - Sinclair Bullet Comparator #1[/url] I have both and like the Hornady tool the best. Just go to Sinclairintl.com and search on bullet comparator to see the options. AJ [/QUOTE]
