Seating depth testing - good ES/SD, poor accuracy?

I’ve found the best way to determine distance to the lands is to polish a bullet with 00 steel wool and close the bolt once or twice. If anything is touching you will be able to see it.

I’ll never use one of those comparators again. Complete east of money.

I definitely agree with most of the guys above. My eld load likes to be jumped .030-.045. Oddly enough the same load worked in two different rifles.
