Distance To The Lands.......I don't get it!
I'm using a Stoney Point OAL guage and get a different distance to the lands depending on which bullet I'm using.
When I measure using a 140 Grn Sierra Game King, I get 2.265. When I use a 140 Grn Nosler Accubond, I get 2.300.
Seems to me that since you are measuring from the base of the brass to the point where the side of the bullet makes contact with the lands, the distance to the lands should be the same regardless of which bullet you are using to do the measurement. The actual distance to the lands does not change, period. Why am I getting different measurements when using different bullets?
Am I wrong on this? Please elplain.
