[QUOTE="Corey Schwanz, post: 1077737, member: 85383"] A measurement to the lands with a comparator can and will be different with various bullets. Different bullets have different profiles and will need to be seated further or shorter than other to actually touch the lands. The lands don't move obviously, but bullets with a shorter bearing surface will need to be seated at a different depth to touch than those that have a longer bearing surface. Pick one comparator and stick with it. Its no surprise 2 different brands of bullets have 2 different depth measurements when touching the lands. If you get a 3rd bullet, I'd bet you'd get a 3rd different reading. [/QUOTE]
