[QUOTE="YZ-80, post: 3055353, member: 109229"] I use the Hornady OAL guage. About 80% of the time, I get consistent measurements. I don't know how far you are seating off the lands but I'm typically .015 to .020, so I don't typically sweat .003 of variance. I usually take the average of 3 to 5 measurements, as long as they are within a 5 one thousandths. One thing to watch out for is that sometimes, with a secant ogive (slimmer bullet) you might not get a "hard stop" when you push into the lands. This may (sometimes) be due to throat errosion and you can be dealing with .050 to .060 of "slop" trying to figure out where the lands are. Very frustrating at times. [/QUOTE]
