[QUOTE="BearDog, post: 1943259, member: 41680"] I used an overall length gauge, and comparator to measure ogive and took an average over 10 measurements. I then made a dummy round and tested cycling and extraction to make sure there was no sticking. I did not have any pressure in closing or opening the bolt. I also measured my Ogive length before and after closing the bolt on my initial test on my dummy round to assure closing the bolt did not move the round and change my seating depth and give me a false measurement. I’ve always understood that for hunting rounds you should load them to two thou off the lands. I figured having it at five thou was being safe and I had room to play with? I’m not following how having the round touching the lans (if that’s the case) would cause the case to stick after the round was fired? [/QUOTE]
