[QUOTE="Black Tail Hunter, post: 1345301, member: 59604"] There may be better tools out there than the Hornady OAL gauge and their comparator set but I think they have to be at least close. And I'm careful to not jam the bullet into the lands when I am pushing the rod through the tool, and always take several measurements and work from the average. Great point, I had not considered fouling. I shot around 30 rounds this weekend and have not yet cleaned my barrel. I suppose there could be .010 to .015 of carbon build up? And yes the bore was clean upon the initial measurement. [/QUOTE]
