[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1828997, member: 9308"] Hey WildBill, [USER=57533]@aushunter1[/USER] has his opinion and that's fine. He bought a bunch of gadgets and it gives him the confidence he needs to feel he is 'doing it just right'. That's great. You are more old school and have figured out how to reload accurate ammunition without all the gadgetry. That's great, too. Neither one is "right" or "wrong". Just coming from different places. Having said that, when someone speaks in 'absolutes' to the effect: [I][U]"If you cant buy those things from the onset of your reloading journey then don't start"[/U][/I] I get a little perturbed. Seems a bit condescending and bossy. I don't know if he meant it that way, it's just how it reads. Better to be civil. We are all on the same team, so to speak. What brought us all to this thread was your recent discovery that when we seat a bullet, the ogive is what the seater pushes against (hopefully!) and that is fine, but some bullets are longer or shorter than others and while all the bullets will be very close to the same CBTO measurement, they are NOT always very close in OAL measurement, depending on the bullet. And - ironically - a person can still load very safe, very accurate ammo without 'knowing' the CBTO measurement. You don't have to go buy any new gadgets unless you just want to. But if you are suddenly looking to hit 10" steel plates at 1000 yards, it might not hurt to get more 'scientific' with things. Otherwise, consider it lesson learned and press on. You are doing fine.
