[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1141692, member: 2736"] I 100% agree that there are machine tolerances that we are stuck with, but to settle for .001 on the your part when you can do better is a problem in my opinion. I only said I tried to get the readings down as low as possible. The machine tolerances are there but you can still try to minimize the Human error. Garycrow said tolerances stack, and I also agree with that. So why not minimize the human tolerances and lower the overall tolerances to the machine limits. My point is and will always be, Don't settle for less than your best if you expect the best from your work. The same is true for working up loads for accuracy, I never stop trying and if I can improve the accuracy/group by a few thousandths I have to try. I am not claiming to get zero tolerance on anything I do (But I try)and I work to the limit of my equipment if possible. Shoddy works seems to be very common in Gun smithing now days (Because everyone can do it)and from some of the problems I have seen and some I have heard on this site, Good enough may be ok for some but I know others like my self that don't settle for anything but there best. How much quality will always be subject to debate because different people have different philosophies on what is good enough. Sorry I try so hard. But I don't intend to change. It may take me longer to do a set up than others, but I am in no hurry and have no intent to compromise My standards. In fact, I try to do every task better than the last time. I am retired and time is not a factor in doing the best work I can. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
