[QUOTE="Joe King, post: 778788, member: 47325"] You are going to find a variance in Ojive dimensions, it's the nature of the beast. what I do is to measure the bearing surface of my bullets, and sort or not depending on my specs for that load. As for your seating depth variance you see with a bullet comparator, you need to keep in mid that where your bullet contacts the lands and where your seating plug contacts the bullet, and your bullet comparator contacts are going to be at least 2 different places and likely 3. So you will get varying readings, because it's very difficult for the Ojive to be made the exact same from one bullet to the next. What you can do is to order a seating plug from Redding to fit the bullet your using. then maybe drill/ream out your comparator to contact the Ojive in the same place as your new seater plug. Another thing you can do is to shoot Walt Berger an email and ask him this question since BR is his bread and butter. I'm sure he's forgotten more than most of us will ever know collectively.
