[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 1509803, member: 64108"] I'm not familiar with the Lee but all the stems I know seat from the ogive. Sometimes the VLD bullets are so pointed the tip hits the base of the seater before it contacts the ogive. Just remember that all your measuring devices are measuring from more or less random point on the bullet, meaning that where your stem seats it and where your device measures it are not the same point on the bullet, but the measurement reproducible. Same with measuring your bullet to the rifling/lands; the Hornady OAL gauge measures a place on the ogive that is not exactly where your lands are. Sorry, in a hurry, somebody will have to chime in.
