[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 2062485, member: 69478"] As others have already described, it doesn’t work like it seems like it should. Every time I try a new bullet I record my length to the lands using CBTO. I can tell you they might be close, but they aren’t always the same. Every bullet will touch the lands at a different point. Even when using the same exact insert and the same exact caliber and same rifle. It’s confusing, but treat every new load work up likes it’s a new cartridge entirely. I’ll add, I checked some of my CBTO numbers. Some of my cartridges have the same CBTO with different bullets, and some vary .005+ from one bullet to the next. I use the same method to find my lands so I’m confident in my techniques. Loading two different bullets to the same CBTO will most likely get your relationship to the lands within .020 or so. However, it’s important to tune your jump to the lands so as most know, if one jump works for one bullet it probably won’t work for the next. [/QUOTE]
