[QUOTE="AKSavage, post: 1391736, member: 95938"] I measured the hole diameter of my two comparators when this first started out, since I was getting two different numbers. The holes apparently taper in a little inside the hole, so I measured as close to the edge of the hole as possible, about 1/16" in. My Sinclair comparator measures right at .284, while my Hornady comparator measures closer to .274. This jives with the Hornady comparator giving a longer OAL, since it hits the taper of the bullet earlier. A bullet that measures .284 using the same micrometer gets marked right at the beginning of the body when I jam it into the Sinclair comparator, from either the ogive or the boat-tail end. All indications are that the Sinclair comparator should be pretty close to actual values. [/QUOTE]
