[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 362328, member: 9215"] Most bullet noses vary too much for precise control of seating depth. But, in my rifles, I've found it's the seating depth range that's most helpfull, and that's often as much as .010" wide, not a specific point +/- nothing. Since learning that I develop my loads by the ogive readings but then load in the middle of the window by simply seating to the nose, OAL, because a few thou one way or the other doesn't matter at all. For a variety of reasons, weighing commercial bullets is, IMHO, a waste of time. And it isn't needed with custom bullets so it's a waste of time. ?? [/QUOTE]
