[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2744082, member: 1521"] See, we're talking about a tool that is not for cartridge OAL, and it certainly does not measure overall length of chamber. Initially I thought the OP was talking about OAL attachments to calipers. That a set screw for one of the attachments was failing. Then OP declared that the tool he was talking about was for finding touch (or max) OAL, even while Hornady simply merchandises their tool for measuring OAL.. That's where I brought up the potential for confusion of terms. OAL, or COAL, is an attribute that you set, regardless of land relationship. It is simply measured with calipers. This Hornady tool extends a bullet from shoulder datum to land contact. That's all it does. From there you measure that special OAL with calipers. Chamber length stops just in front of trim length. It does not include freebore/throat or leade. Different tool for measuring chamber length. [/QUOTE]
