[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2381769, member: 1521"] Other methods and claims for them may be accurate enough, but they're not actually better than the cleaning rod method. Hornady's system has to be derived from an average. Magnifier interpretations of touching marks on bullets is subjective, and a real PIA. With this method, with a well built rod fit, and cleaned bolt lugs/abutments, and a standard force applied, you can hit the measure at +/- 1thou 50 times in a row. It works quick & easy. This is only a baseline measure for starting point with a new barrel. It will never matter beyond that with a hunting cartridge. What matters for us is tested best CBTO, and not any particular land relationship. [/QUOTE]
