Mrawesome22, yeah thats right, i think i may not have explained myself too well earlier. The measurement i was on about was from the base of the cartridge to the ogive, from what i can figure, this overall measurement should be the same with any bullet i use

Ahhhhh, I think I see what you mean now. Yes, if you adjust your seating die to put every different bullets ogive in the same place, and measure from base to ogive, you will come up with the exact same measurement. As long as each case has the same dimensions.

And think about this. Poor head space (a.k.a. a lot of room between bolt face and case head) will cause the ogive of your bullet to be farther or closer to the rifling by moving the rifle up or down. But neck sizing fire formed brass eliminates this. Again I recommend the Lee Collet Neck die.
