[QUOTE="Boss Hoss, post: 290942, member: 5060"] Roy----I go .001 on mine. Sometimes sorting 1000 SMK's I will have 8 piles some with 450 some with 4. I load everything the same because all of my rifles are built to the same tolerances by the same person who prefers to do it that way and it is the most accurate and I agree plus it is not wise to argue with the Master LOL!!! The only difference is that with the smaller piles I will use them for foulers and sighters as there may not be enough to load for a match or enough to load 100 rounds for a hunting lot which is my minimum to fool with. Now-----everyone who reads this must understand that in order for this to make a meaningful difference there are many other thing in the process that must be done absolutely correctly or this will be for naught. It is absolutely a necessity to use a tool that will give you consistent and correct answers every time such as the Buhay tool. So don’t think you can do this for instance using total length of the bullet by measuring from the base for example. The true bearing surface must be known in order for this to be of any value. Roy----I know you are doing it correctly but some who read this might think hey I can just measure the base of the bullet and go from there. [/QUOTE]
