[QUOTE="epags, post: 2032777, member: 105138"] One thing many are missing when measuring from barrel to bullet when on lands is that the bullet ogive may not be consistent. I took some 64 Speer bullets ( an old lot I bought a while ago) and using a Sinclair comparator I measured from ogive to tail. length varied from 1.542 to 1.558" with the average at 1.549" Knowing my rifle's desired jump I then reloaded the batch that was closest to the average. Threw away the 10 extreme high and lows of the batch. See my avatar for results....I was not interested in scope setting at the time Just group size. [/QUOTE]
