[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 2658237, member: 22335"] If you’re measuring to the ogive when you load, and not to the tip of the bullet, variation between each bullet doesn’t really matter. I usually load 5-10 thousandths short, then measure to the ogive, adjust my micrometer seating die and make the last seating adjustment. Each round is done individually. In this way, you can make .003 adjustments and it means something. My loads all have virtually the same measurement to the ogive and I never measure the full length when loading. If you don't adjust each load individually to compensate for the possible bullet variations then yes, it's tough to get the same base to ogive length. As Salmonhead notes, though, with lathe-cut bullets like the Hammers I think you could use one setting and load them all, given their consistency. [/QUOTE]
