Just thought id give an update. Comparator came in so I loaded up some rounds. The old way, measuring every round to the tip was a mistake and as everyone said did not make all rounds loaded at the same depth...to test this I seated two bullets the old way until they had the same length to tip as I did before. Upon measuring with the comparator...they were .007 off at the ogive which is close to .010. I think that is a significant difference so I am hoping to see my groups shrink a bit using the comparator to check overal length to ogive. Here's hoping!!!
