[QUOTE="birdiemc, post: 1571356, member: 29632"] Take that bushing off that says 30, and get one that says 40 or so, then on a case without a bullet in it, use it exactly as you would to measure from the base of the case to the ogive, but instead you'll be measuring to the "datum" which is supposed to be halfway between the shoulder and the neck. This will just be to compare the Nosler to the Hornady. As long as your bushing catches somewhere on the shoulder it will allow you to compare the two. Even with the differences in the cases that have been pointed out, it's hard to believe they would add up to .192 (if my math is correct) I could imagine perhaps half of that maybe from looking at the picture. And maybe another .020 at most from inconsistency in the chamber measurement that is inevitable without lots of practice. Have you measured the bullets base to ogive to make sure they're consistent? I know hammers are supposed to be extremely consistent, but there's always the possibility [/QUOTE]
