    Critical Measurements ?

    Whats the most critical measurements when making bullets? As in if you make a new batch what are you going to measure? Im assuming base to ogive with a comparator, shank size with micrometer, weight with scale and pressure ring with micrometer?. Do you measure overall lenght, bearing surface?

    Also is the pressure ring measure right at the base of the bullet?

    Thanks

    For me, diameter tells if my dies are setup correctly and is the most important. Weight is important but oal means little to me.
