[QUOTE="Mike027, post: 602529, member: 5816"] Im no expert but my understanding is that for accuracy you should measure to the ogive. The length from the base of the cartridge to the tip is more important for fit in the magazine. I use a Hornady OAL guage with a Sinclare comparator to give me the length to the bullet ogive touching the lands. I then back it off .10 for my finished length. Im sure some of the more experienced folks on the site will chime in and help. Mike [/QUOTE]
