[QUOTE="stonehands1, post: 1078072, member: 88929"] Fear no wind... I read Corey's post and it may very well be the answer but it does not explain why the distance from bolt face to lands never changes but bolt face to ogive,or what most commonly refer to as ogive (the point where the bullet becomes .308) changes with bullet shape. It could be a 2' long bullet and sticking out the end of the barrel or a 1" flat nose. The comparator will measure it at a given circumference reguardless of shape. My comparator for .308 measures at .296. Because it is not measuring at .308 (ogive) it will measure bullets of different rates of taper (or ogive). This is the only reason I can come up with to explain it correctly. [/QUOTE]
