[QUOTE="Goofycat, post: 556782, member: 6504"] I'm no expert, but I fail to understand why people still use cartridge over all length as a guide. Ogives differ with different bullets; hence, you can have different bullets in a case, all set to the same COAL, yet due to ogive differences between the bullets, they may differ in how far they are off the lands. If you use a Stoney gauge, or something similar, you will always know what your seating depth is, regardless of the COAL. The COAL might be a ballpark guide, but since bullets differ, even within the same batch, it seems to me that it is not an accurate way to know their relationship to the lands when determining seating depth. Am I wrong on this? [/QUOTE]
