[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 1573932, member: 22335"] I often seat them "close" and then measure them. I adjust the micrometer then for that particular bullet/case, and seat it the last tiny bit. In my experience, it's often the bullet that can vary in length from base to ogive. Get an exceptionally consistent bullet (Hammer, occasionally Barnes) and you'll find they're all the same when you measure them after the initial seating. In doing it this way I am able to get each base-to-ogive measurement to be exactly the same. [/QUOTE]
