[QUOTE="rbcowboy, post: 1082267, member: 84522"] I dont know exactly how the sinclair works but I have the hornady comparator and if you are measuring different types of bullets you will get different readings because of the different styles of ogives for the different types of bullets. You will also get different readings for bullets of the same lot but this variation won't be as drastic as .040 When reloading for accuracy I measure all my bullets base to ogive and group them accordingly so that when I seat them for my ogive COAL they are also seating the same depth in the case within .001-2 If if works like the hornady comparator you also have to be sure that you are putting the same amount of pressure pushing it into the lands because you can seat one futher into the lands quite a bit more just pushing slightly harder on the seating rod from the previous bullet! Don't take this as law by any means! I'm new to this myself but this is what I have learned along the way thus far! I'm sure one of the veteran guys can give a better explanation and guidance but thought I might give a suggestion to start with! Best of luck to you!!! [/QUOTE]
