[QUOTE="arthurj, post: 64721, member: 3718"] Hey guys, I'm probably worrying about nothing but I was using my cleaning rod to measure OAL(where you mark it when it contacts bolt face and then mark with a bullet lodged in rifling) I wasn't thinking and I let go of the pencil I was holding the bullet in the lands with. The rod dislodged the bullet and slid down and hit the crown. The piece of Stainless steel on the rod handle hit it and made a mark, but I can't tell if it is just a mark or if there is damage. I know I need to shoot it to see, but I was wondering what kind of damage to a crown does it take to hurt accuracy. Is that little mark enough for a recrowning job? [/QUOTE]
