Sir:
Possibly you have never tried what I suggested. FYI, I use two comparators, Sinclair's and Davidson's (Davidson's much preferred). I always check to determine if there is any push-back before loading with powder. If the bullet jams in the lands because the bullet was forced back into the case - and you have to unload during a match - there is a significant chance that you are going to dump powder. Possibly you have never shot benchrest. Quite a time consumer to clean out a load of powder if that happens. Only takes 2-3 test cases to check the actual OAL (as chambered) and adjust your seating die. Try it, you may be surprised.
As for the possiblility that Chandalar's last post referred to my recent posts, please reread those recent posts - none on them addressed Stage 1 (the already-concluded tests), only the next round, which appears to be the accuracy round. If you were not referring to my posts, please excuse my comment. </div></div>
So now youre comparing a tactical load for accuracy to a benchrest load, to a Manufacturers load.
IF they do this, yes it would be an accuracy test but i sincerely doubt they will be loaded to BR standards as you seem to suggest doing with your concern of dumping powder due to low neck tension. Concern of dumping powder, really? This test as my understanding is to test stability and overall accuracy of a bullet at "distance". Not a 100,300,600 yard BR competition with minimal neck tension on a round seated to the utmost accuracy node for the bullet.
Maybe I am misunderstanding what your reasoning is for asking for the measurements you are and if so, my apologies. Its just that your requests seem a bit out of line and excessive considering you are not contributing.
