[QUOTE="ThrdKllr, post: 2032404, member: 110734"] I use this method also. I usually push the bullet back and forth a couple of times from both ends before I tighten the set screw. It helps to straighten and center the bullet in the lands. I get much more consistent measurements. But I have found using the Wheeler method with the Sharpie that with the HOALG you are actually getting a.005-.010 jam depending on how much pressure you put on the rod pushing the bullet into the lands. It doesn’t take much pressure when inserting a tapered object in to a tapered hole. [/QUOTE]
