[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1342506, member: 1521"] I'm thinking the inserted measuring neck/plug would not be centered so well as to enter beveling of chamber end(as loose ammo usually isn't), and would contact at beginning of actual chamber end. You can try it 4 or 5 times and if any readings are shorter, then your that much closer to nailing exact chamber end. If you don't mind try that & let us know. It does not surprise me that YOUR chamber is considerably different than published. Hence the utility of this tool. Sinclair: [B][I]This measurement will tell you how much excess case length your chamber may have over published trim lengths in reloading handbooks. The differences between published trim lengths and the actual length of your chamber can be quite significant. You could be over trimming your cases by .030 inch or more.[/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
