[QUOTE="Plinker147, post: 2061557, member: 88320"] I think a simple way of stating it is what the distance to the lands is doesn’t matter. The measurement that matters is the CBTO that shoots good in your gun. Once that is established your good. If your lands erodes over the time and you load doesn’t shoot as well, there is no need to remeasure the distance to the lands. All you need to do is adjust CBTO until your load shoots like it did originally. Doesn’t matter if ends up .100 off or .020 off just as long as the accuracy is there. For the OP question it is not uncommon to get different measurements with different methods. We are still talking small differences. I use Sinclair’s and I will get a few different measurements. Just do it multiple times and take the average. You must initially find the lands measurement to know that your starting off the lands. That does matter for a hunting rifle as it’s never good to stick a bullet in the field. Sounds like your doing good [/QUOTE]
