[QUOTE="can1010, post: 2745202, member: 43193"] while the sinclair is much better than hornadys it can be very inaccurate. the point from bullet touching lands and sticking in lands can be over .010 difference and jammed can be another .010 difference on top of that. a little tip to help with consistency, put a cleaning jag on your cleaning rod making sure to remove the point, insert from muzzle and with the sinclair tool and the cleaning rod you can work the bullet back and forth to find the point of touch without any jam. always check on a clean barrel and measure multiple times. i skip the sinclair tool and just put bushings on the cleaning rod. push it in until it hits the bolt face, push bushings against muzzle and set back bushing then put bullet in chamber work bullet back and forth to find touch and set front bushing then measure in between, seat bullet in case to that length and then measure your CBTO. always use the same bullet since their length can very quiet a bit.
