[QUOTE="Okanogan, post: 1928528, member: 90397"] Sounds frustrating trying to track down intermittent results. If you are still trying to eliminate variables in your trouble shooting, I suggest using the stripped bolt method for checking both your seating depth/ distance to the lands and your full length resizing die setting. I quit using the Hornady OAL gauge some time back (except when forced to for my gas guns) because I had a hard time getting repeatability. When I checked it against the stripped bolt method, I was often 0.020-0.030" longer with the Hornady tool. I have also had instances where I bumped the shoulder 0.002 by my comparator but discovered that I still wasn't completely free in the chamber when I used the stripped bolt method. Another 0.002 took care of the issue which could have just been spring back or other factors. [/QUOTE]
