[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 812790, member: 1521"] The Hornady/Stoneypoint method is just poor in every regard. To begin, it assumes chamber dimensions and that a case used in measure would fit correctly(w/respect to what?). With this, many get poor/inconsistent measurements. I personally use an RP Tool, which is a cleaning rod with an end flat, and no case is used. It's just reference bullet tip with ogive against lands -to boltface. This is followed by seating THAT bullet in any case to reach that COAL, and then measuring with a comparator to get touching OgvOAL. It's just a point of reference. As el si implied, fear not about it. It's useful only in logging reference. That is, 'best results were found at': - 8thou off touching or - 2.693 OgvOAL Either provides the same function. [/QUOTE]
