I know you can get inaccurate readings when using calibers and measure from the tip of a bullet to the bottom of the case. My question is when i measure using a bullet comparator . How do I figure the overall length of the cartridge from the ogive example i want overall length 3.30 but measure...

I recently picked up a Hornady bullet compartor. And I noticed I get pretty inconsistent readings measuring the ogive on my 168 grain SMKs. I noticed they do vary from .601 upto .605. But If I remeasure the same projectile twice it may read .604 when before it read .602. Also is this deviation...
