So, here the problem, I made a cartridge length measuring device to measure how deep the throat is cut in my chamber but I'm getting different measurements with different bullets.
I'm using Hornady's Lock-N-Load Comparator to measure to the ogive, not overall length. Shouldn't the dimension from the bolt face to where the ogive of the bullet contacts the lands be the same for all bullets? What am I doing wrong?
1.734 w/Sierra 120 Pro-Hunter, C.O.L. 2.217
1.673 w/Hornady 95 V-Max, C.O.L. 2.199
.061 difference
This is the cartridge length measuring device I made and used:
