[QUOTE="trebark, post: 417384, member: 19172"] +1.... Some of what you're experiencing is variance in bullet manufacturing. I noticed it when loading both Berger VLDs and SMK bullets. The variance in OAL (base of case to tip of bullet) was great enough that I wonder how much is allowable tolerance in the manufacuring process. I started to use a Hornady Comparator (which measures at the ogive rather than the tip of the bullet). Then I found that although there was variance in the OAL, the measurement to the ogive was within .002 My response is predicated on the fact that the set-up issues others raise are not a problem.
