[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 1497066, member: 3099"] This is it exactly. The only way you would get perfect OALs is if your seating punch was totally flat and only had a point of contact at the furthest forward point of the bullet, which would be the same point you are measuring from with your calipers. As it is, the seating punch touches the bullet somewhere on the ogive, or a corner of the hollow point for instance. If your calipers measured from that same point of contact you would see almost no variance, unless it's a compressed load you are loading. There will be variances among the bullets even from the same box. [/QUOTE]
