[QUOTE="sab, post: 1718942, member: 1548"] Mr.Moa: It's due to the different shapes of the bullets. You have a very smooth shape (the bullet), fitting into a very unsmooth shape (the lands and grooves of a barrel). Unless the nose of the two bullets are identically shaped, one bullet will protrude into the barrel a different distance, relative to the datum diameter of the comparator. You can really only compare like bullet shapes - each different one has it's own "length" to the lands. [/QUOTE]
