Thread: 6.5prc 147eldm CBTO

Have loaded 20 rounds so far, it’s been a while so bear with me.
The new hornady g3 scale is a massive massive step up from the original that came from my reloading kit being able to leave it on to warm up kept it super super steady for weighing powder. I’m using vn565 powder at 56gr for a start load and seating to 2.955 COAL, I have e got a comparator and measure the ogive at 2.320 the funny thing is I have been checking the rounds after they have been seated and I find the projectiles vary by measuring with the comparator. I’m loading 147eldm hornady and using the a tip seating stem on hornady custom grade dies.
Question
Does the ogive vary on these rounds or should I look elsewhere? I have checked the standard stem and the 147s top out in it so I’m assuming I shouldn’t revert to it.
