I'm going to start working up some loads for my 30-06 and 308 which I hope to pick up soon. I know that consistent bullet measurements are best taken off the ogive, rather than the meplat. I've also read that seating just off the lands is the best way to get good accuracy.
I'd like to get the some tools that make measuring both OAL and distance to the lands easy. I see that Dillon carries the following Stoney Point comparators and OAL gauges:

If I understand how these tools work, I need all 4 of these items to measure distance to the lands, and OAL of the cartridge, right? Is there anything else I'd need?
