I'm a truck driver so be patient with me. Just trying to wrap my head around what you are saying. I get that the actual number doesn't really matter in that you find what works best and stick with it. That is what most do - I think. But they measure the bullet length. Where do you start? You use a slip case to find the lands - right? Then you decide where to seat the bullet from that, be it on the lands or 0.020" or 0.050" off of the lands, shoot it for group and then try another depth if desired result not achieved. With the micro seater you would turn up or down on the stem that is marked with numbers and lines. It is still a measurement - you don't bother to measure the loaded round itself - correct.
For the Op. The comparator is a great tool for measuring length of bullets. As said before P&D sell them.
