[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1421092, member: 74902"] I measure on the exposed bearing surface also. Measuring out on the ogive amplifies the readings for me too. I think that if the bullet is seated and any miniscule angle whatsoever, that angle will increase closer to tip of the bullet. Not sure how accurate those ogive readings are anyway, because of the angled surface on the ogive that the arm of the gauge must make contact with. I'm sure a machinist could expand on that explanation a bit, but I don't think it is an optimal place to take a reading. [/QUOTE]
