[QUOTE="Kentucky Windage, post: 69873, member: 429"] The mark on the colored bullet just tells you that you have contacted the lands. The mark will be on the Ogive of the bullet. This is where I would recommend getting a comparator (a tool that bolts on to our caliper and measure the seating depth at the Ogive instead of the tip of the bullet). Ogive measurement is a more accurate way of measuring seating depth because bullets can have tip to tip variation giving you mixed readings on your caliper. So after you crush a case with semi free moving bullet in your chamber and pull it back out, adjust your seating die to achieve a jump or jam in the lands. If you want a jump, seat the bullet deeper, color it with the sharpie again and confirm that you are in fact jumping the bullet and not contacting the lands. [/QUOTE]
