The distance of a bullet's ogive to a rifle's leade is a function of two things: the chamber as cut by the manufacturer/gunsmith; and the particular bullet used. Round-nosed bullets are closer to the leade in relation to the cartridge OAL than spire-point bullets are, due to the bullet ogive being closer to the bullet tip.
The best thing to do is make a dummy round and measure YOURS...
I just went down to Cabelas and picked up a OAL gauge and the special casing that accompanies it. I still have to wait for the hornady comparator adapter for my mic though. Thanks guys
