[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 1384529, member: 12282"] That is exactly what I do. I have a page where I write down all my initial measurements with a new gun, new bullet etc. Including the Base to shoulder reading of a 2x fired cartridge and the Hornady dummy cartridge. Then I add the difference to my BTO measurements. The elusive measurement is the BOLT FACE to LANDS. And to a certain extent to Bolt face to shoulder. One should not assume they are identical to the measurements that the Hornady tool delivers. Close. But not identical. If you are loading close to the Lands that variation will cause trouble I think.
