[QUOTE="cedarswamp1, post: 367666, member: 21889"] Measureing to the tip of the bullet really doesn't tell you much, It's more accurate to measure off the ogive of the bullet as that is what your seater die contacts to seat the bullet(in most cases). Also the quality of you caliper, or even the consitency of the way you hold the round into the tool will show often significant differences in measurement Reloading really isn't that difficult, I've self taught myself most of what I know, if you've got someone with 30 years experience to show you the ropes you're way ahead of the game. Even with your present limited knowledge, you've probably already produced more accurate ammo than you could buy. Measure some factory ammo the same way you've measured your reloads, and I think you'll be suprised by the inconsistency of the factory stuff. If you can afford $3.50 every time you pull the trigger more power to ya, if you can't, learn to reload or sell the rifle and buy a cheaper round, cause you won't shoot the rifle enough to become profient with it otherwise.
