[QUOTE="rcoody, post: 1574317, member: 91090"] Many reloaders call the point where the curve of the ogive begins the ogive but in reality it is that entire curve from the point of curvature to the tip. Variations in that curve is one of the largest reasons for variations in base to ogive measurements with most measuring tools. Even sorting my not solve this completely because the seater stem doesn't hit the curve of the ogive at the same point as the sorting tool. Different bullet manufacturers have more or less consistency in the curve of the ogive. My experience is berger and Sierra are more consistent then hornady or nosler. Then we get to annealing or work hardened brass and consistent neck tension. And then to in line seaters and arbor presses I know it can be done. I can load 50 rounds without touching my seater and they will all be within a .001 base to ogive. [/QUOTE]
