[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1517592, member: 74902"] I have two sets of Hornady LNL inserts so I can measure BS. I have done this frequently on the AMax bullets as the bearing surface can vary quite a bit. But here's the thing I found out. Tolerances between different sets of Hornady LNL comparator inserts are not very tight. SO, make sure, if you get an additional set to measure BS on some bullets, MARK the one that you use to measure the seating depth etc. and only use it for that purpose. If you don't it will cause you problems. BTO is definitely a simpler measurement. Maybe I will try to compare the two someday. I think Litz said the BTO is more important because it is harder for the factory to get consistent than even the bearing surface. I might be wrong though. But it might be easier to get a consistent reading on the BTO. It does take a bit of practice and feel to get consistent BS measurement. [/QUOTE]
