[QUOTE="birdiemc, post: 1571270, member: 29632"] How many times have you remeasured your chamber? When I've done this I ended up with a range of about .008" over about 10 attmepts. I'm too cheap to buy the hornady case when I have fired brass on the bench and a drill press in the corner. I just drilled out the head so the tool would slide through, you have to hold it on to take your measurement, but the difference in once fired brass vs. Hornadys threaded case seems to give some folks a problem. Just thinking out loud here, a difference in the shoulder could allow for the case to slide farther down the chamber, causing your bullet to go farther as well. Take your comparator and throw on a bushing big enough to catch somewhere on the shoulder and compare your fired Nosler brass to the Hornady case and see if that sheds any light. [/QUOTE]
