[QUOTE="Clucknmoan, post: 1368083, member: 80034"] BTO from one type of bullet or grain to another is not going to be the same. Has to do with the angle of the ogive where it contacts your comparator. I used to use either the Hornady OAL gauge or the cleaning rod/collet method, but it was always some variance out of 10 measurements. It's really hard to be consistent on how much force you are putting on the bullet to find touch. Below is the best method I have ever found by far. Dead nuts accurate as many times as you want to try it. Also interesting that I found out my touch was actually about .005 jammed using my old method. Your mileage may vary, but this is really accurate for me and there's no extra tools necessary. [MEDIA=youtube]TWmIwPwLyyg[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
