[QUOTE="The Oregonian, post: 2475300, member: 51405"] Using the Hornady tool I have had some trouble getting repeatable measurements, mainly bc it is hard to replicate the pressure on the bullet when pushing it out of the case in the chamber. I would trust the disassembled bolt or a sharpie on the ogive method more than the Hornady. If it were me I would back 20 thou off the average of a few different methods and start with that as my longest CBTO and work from there. On the factory COAL, it seems like .2 inches would make it difficult to close the bolt on your rifle with those dimensions. What is the CBTO of the factory round? I think you are quoting your cartridge as CBTO and the factory round as cartridge overall length. [/QUOTE]
