Default RE: Trying to understand the lands?

ORIGINAL: Hotburn76

So is my load spot for a 40 grain VMax somewhere between 2.310 and 2.325? This is done with RCBS calipers and is to the red tip. I though that I had a long throat, but realized that was a bullet with out a ballistic tip and the Berger is more pointy then the VMax I think. Any pointers on if I am looking at this right?
Yes we understand hwat he asked, but that is just half his answer. w/o a bullet comparator (bc)all his efforts in measurement are wasted although if he were just using the same poly tip bullet he would be in better shape. He is at the point I was when starting to reload and was frustrated w/ all the diff bullet shapes until I found out about the bc. trying to save him some time finding out on his own.
