I got one from Tubb years ago and one from a guy at Williamsport...... both are the same with a granite surface plate and I use good dial indicators on them. I don't know who makes them now... jim
That is one way to see it, but I think it is more likely that the ogive of every bullet is not as conically perfect as we would like.
I'm not complaining about .0005 variance of mass produced bullets. IMO that is pretty amazing. And given their performance I'm still the weakest link.

I actually have 2. They are both made by John Hoover. One uses a granite stand and the other one is his meplat trimmer.I got one from Tubb years ago and one from a guy at Williamsport...... both are the same with a granite surface plate and I use good dial indicators on them.

Show me on paper it makes a difference. We can talk all day about who is the most anal. Lets see the proof on targets.
.0005” seems extreme, but if you sort 1000 VT 103’s you might have 3 piles. If you sort 1000 sierras you will be lucky to stop at 6-8. Just remember, bore bearing surface directly impacts velocity. The goal of everyone here is to put them all in the same hole regardless of the distance.
Can you share that lot number big guy??
My Sierras have never been that close but as I said earlier my tools aren’t as good as yours.

Now show the ones that are .001 longer or shorter. Both Targets side by side shot on the same day in the same conditions.
