OAL bullet seating frustration

I bought the Hornady comparator. Seems as though it will be a great help.

It is an essential piece of kit for me.

So what jump have you found is the best place to start for Ballistic tips? Accubonds? Partions ? I know all rifles vary, but all info helps.

For cup-and-core bullets, I usually start at 0.010 inches off the lands. I treat Partitions as a cup-and-core bullet. AccuBonds, being bonded, benefit from more of a jump. I usually work with then beginning at 0.050 inches off the lands.
