I think that the posts here show great attention to detail and exacting distances that are used for seating depths to achieve optimum accuracy.

WOW... I am not this sophisticated but have an idea I want to try and think it can help everyone with this specific task.

I ask all here:

If you were to use an RCBS "Precision Mic" for 308.... try not to scoff yet...... and removed the black simulated bullet, then substituted the exact bullet you shoot by drilling out the base to the 8/32 thread the Mic uses, screw it on with an 8/32 stud, and then use the mic as intended.....wouldn't this show a comparative depth to use or at least a consistent starting point.

I think this can work and be as accurate as any method for each bullet used.

Thanks, Ed
