9 Simply subtract .015" or so and you have a good starting point for bullet seating.
yeah 15 thousanth is a good place to start but I have many of my guns at .020, and even .030". One thing to remember is after you have determined your COL make sure they fit into your magazine. Load 3 rounds into the mag and make sure you can cycle them, I have seen guys get to the field and realize they are stuck with a single shot because their rounds wont fit in their mags.
