[QUOTE="trap55555, post: 4539526, member: 2032"] I think they will vary a bit also. In reality your BTO (Base To Ogive) is not likely varying that much, unless you have adjusted the die :D . The problem is how do you adjust or check your seating depth and have confidence that they are the same bullet to bullet? I came to recognize this issue, and like you have recognized also, I went ahead got the Hornady comparator set. So now I set, measure and record the BTO for my loads, to the point I can't tell you the COAL is my loads without going and measuring. I also log the Base to Lands (BTL ?) measurement for each the bullets that I load for. So I'm loading and testing by 0.XXX off the lands. In my experience blems,seconds,... seem to vary even more. Good Luck Be Safe, [/QUOTE]
