[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1468210, member: 94491"] I was wondering--since there are differences in tolerances--which do you find to be more accurate when shooting, measuring to the "ogive" with the comparator, or measuring to the tip of bullet (c.o.a.l)-since non of the seating dies seat by using the tip of the bullet there always seems to be differences in OAL I have found differences in the bullets over all length, but also difference to the base to ogive measurement of the individual bullets too you could actually make an "ogive measuring tool" yourself, the true ogive is just where the bullet finally reaches full diameter. yobuck-- you could also use a sharpie instead of smoking--thats how I used to do it [/QUOTE]
