[QUOTE="Dan Conzo, post: 22266, member: 269"] Measuring to the tip of the bullet from base (head) doesn't really matter only for feeding thru a magazine. The length from bearing surface to tips will vary quite a it. Measure 0'all seating depth from base to forward part of the bullet that is the full dia (30 cal @ .308", etc). Keep that measurement real close (.002"). Also you will usually have to change your seating depth on your seating die even with the same make, type and weight of bullets, they will vary, and of course other makes and types will vary greatly from the ones you commonly use. If you measure your bullets first before seating then adjust seating die slowly down to desired length (from base to orgive) you won't have any problems seating to optium depth. [/QUOTE]
