Don't have any experience with the Armscor bullets, but since they're a "price" point bullet I'm going to assume they're manufactured with less precision than a match grade bullet.

IMO, everyone that handloads should have a bullet comparator and an OAL gauge to get the most consistency from their efforts.

Too inexpensive not to have these precision tools.
The bullet comparator measures your bullet length from the ogive- not the tip of the bullet. This will provide you with a more consistent length.

The Mini's got a pretty long throat, so the OAL gauge may not be of as much value if you're loading to mag length. But it's invaluable for other rifles since you can know exactly what your distance to the lands is, and experiment with different loaded lengths to maximize your accuracy.
