[QUOTE="IDelkhunter, post: 909551, member: 43404"] I had similar problems using the Hornady the first few times. However, I wasn't seeing that large of a swing (mine was .020-.030"). I even went back and forth between the "old" way you describe to verify results. I also wasn't getting the same reading every time...again a .015-.020" spread. The technique that finally worked for me was to ensure the bullet was fully seated in the cleaning rod and deep inside the case....then VERY carefully move the bullet forwArd while ensuring the rod stays centered in the bore. I also had to a loose set screw on the case holder end that was causing variation. Hope that helps, but would love to hear what others recommend. Marcus [/QUOTE]
