[QUOTE="WRG, post: 634205, member: 13638"] Are your measurements taken off the ogive or the actual tip of the bullet? You will get a more cosistant seating depth measurement if you measure off the ogive than you would off the tip unless you are pre-measuring and sorting each bullet by length and weight. You are going to find not every bullet in a lot is going to be exactly the same length. Your main concern should be is the ogive in the same position on each round and no so much the actual OAL. Measure off the ogive and you should see better consistancy but first make sure you're using the right seater plug in your die for the type of bullet you are using. A VLD bullet is not the same as a typical pointed/tipped bullet. The ogive on a VLD bullet is set further down from the tip and your seater plug needs to make contact with the ogive. [/QUOTE]
