Unless I'm not understanding your question you should get the same number everytime you check it

I don't think you seat your bullet to 0.5 inches before the lands. More like 0.05 inches, no? Look at the section where you are writing seating depths. You say average jump is .2 to .3, and you like .5. Left out a zero.

@Zookagold OOPS My mistake nice catch man! TY

Very informative video. I would like to use the comparator inserts to measure the shoulder (headspace) of my cases by using a 0.375" calibre insert for a 30-06 case. Will the neck fit through the insert or do I need to buy the dedicated headspace inserts?

Thanks!

Wow I'm glad I wasn't the only one confused with the seating calculations because it seemed like your bullet would be way off the lands..

Enjoyed the video. I have always heard "O-give" pronounced "O-Jive".

Great vid, very clear.

Thanks for taking the time out to do this video.

Sorry, but I can hear my Drill Sergeant now: "This is NOT a gun! A gun is a naval artillery piece. THIS is a rifle! Now drop!!!" Being all OCD and whatnot, thought you'd appreciate that stuff.

Great videos though!

@Zookagold so should the .2-.3 be .02 and .03 instead or just the .5 should be changed to .05?

Thanks for posting such detailed video. I have been scratching my head trying to figure out how to heck to accurately set my OAL when the tips of the bullets are different lengths and how close to the lands you can go? I will be running out to Cabelas after work today to purchase on of these tools. Many thanks

@AccurateWayz On my Palma rifle .308 my bullet is hardly in the brass and can be pulled by hand. But, I use the Lee Factory Crimp Die to secure the bullet so I don't end up with gas escaping back from the neck or the action full of propellant during competition. You might tighten your groups by placing a small factory crimp even without the use of a non-cannelure bullet.
