[QUOTE="Abolt, post: 1245137, member: 61346"] I just got my first custom barrel put on a rifle. I was starting to load up a few to test it out and was checking the distance to the lands. I am using a Hornady oak gauge and a bullet comparator. With the 165g tsx the lands are 2.2660. I was going to start 50 thousands off. Loaded up the first one and its deep in the case. So I took the bullet comparator off to find the oal and distance to lands of several different bullets. It looks like my distance to lands is the same as book oal for most bullets. Just wondering if this is good, bad, normal, or strange? The rifle is a browning abolt 300 wsm with a bartlein barrel. Bullet. / Book oal. / Distance to lands Barnes 165 tsx. / 2.860 / 2.850 Berger 185 vld htg /2.860. / 2.9145 Berger 165 class htg/ 2.860. / 2.8610 Hndy 165 btsp. / 2.8235. / 2.8340 [/QUOTE]
