Can you hold .001" tolerance on loaded rounds?

Venom said:Hi Erik,
Could you please give me your analysis. It would be very much appreciated.
Thanks Rick
mikegaiz said:Sorry jumping in here, but on the same topic. Starting with seating depth, Is there a good starting point for testing? Where should you start testing a tangent, or secant, or hybrid bullet?
savageshooter86 said:Yes I can. Might be too much effort for not a lot of change. I measure each round and re seat until I get exactly the measurement I want
That is why I want a tuner and also find a seating depth "window" so I can take less time to loss rounds
savageshooter86 said:Well for me and my reloading, I go by my calipers and ogive reading. When they are the exact measurement I am wanting I call that good. I sorry bullets by Buhay bullet sorting. That's just how I keep my rounds at 1 thous from my tools and skill

I'm intrigued on how you measure your loaded rounds. I too use the calipers & comparator for measurement. Can you please elaborate?

I'm very interested in how you measure your loaded rounds as well. Whether you explain it on this thread or not, I'd sure like to know. I have been following this thread closely and appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
Thanks,

Got back up to the range. This time I was using 1 x fired brass and .015 off, tuner was set back to 0.
44.8 = 2751, 2760, 2749
45.1 = 2771, 2780, 2776
45.4 = 2782, 2786, 2779
45.7 = 2776, 2785, 2783
46 = 2794, 2797, 2789

I like 45.4
