[QUOTE="brentc, post: 1459108, member: 16938"] You're fine to do that. I use a 25 cal insert for 264 bullets all the time. I also use a 30 cal insert to measure 338 cal bullets because the long nose of the Berger 338 bullets extends too far into the 338 insert that they touch the anvil. Additionally, if you were to try two separate Hornady inserts of the same caliber it is likely that you'll see two different readings. None of the comparator tools will measure exactly on the ogive across all bullet manufacturers. As long as any single insert references to the same place bullet to bullet it doesn't matter what numbers are stamped in the side of the insert as long as the hole in the insert is smaller than the caliber of bullet being measured.
