Talking base of the case to the middle of the shoulder.If you have more lube on a case than another or if the neck on one case is rougher than another or the alloy or hardness is different after sizing you can have a lot of different ogive measurements.One reason to keep lot numbers of brass the same and number of firings and annealing of case necks.</blockquote>
