[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1400507, member: 22069"] The least consistent bullet tips are typically BTHP's. Plastic tipped bullets are much better in that regard. I haven't found the ogives to be any more consistent, despite claims to the contrary. If I am trying to seat bullets for consistent OAL, I have to back the seater off by .010 between bullets and sneak up on the desired OAL. Unless you are sorting all of your bullets by ogive length and choosing one with a length squarely on the mean to take your measurements, there is no way the ogive method will be any more accurate. Even if it is more accurate by .001 or .002, that is something that is relevant to benchrest, not field shooting. [/QUOTE]
