[QUOTE="pushcoguy, post: 1333638, member: 86505"] Agreed. And I almost always load to mag length anyway. The reason that I am interested in the base-to-ogive measurement is this. I am super meticulous with the caliper. I habitually measure almost everything that I produce. The problem though- I want to know how consistent (read in "perfect") my dies are, at seating. There is enough difference in the bullets, when measured from base to tip, to throw off my "COL" measurements. I used to constantly tweak my dies, because I thought that they weren't being consistent, when it was probably just the difference in bullet lengths. I now keep notes of new bullets' weight and length variances. [/QUOTE]
