[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2247526, member: 116181"] I would call that last push what really gets you to the lands - I've always thought it is something like a minor concentricity issue in the jacket of the bullet hanging up. I use the same bullet over the life of the barrel to measure - eventually there's no more hang up, and there are marks on the jacket of the bullet. I jam the bullet into the lands with the tool, and get repeatable measurements that vary by less than 0.001". I think that finds a more reliable "hard stop" of what the maximum length is, and ensures I'm only working one way away from that point. [/QUOTE]
