BC, did a bullet like you said and came up with 2.395? So now I am really messing with myself!! I also did the hold a bullet with a pencil thing and set stops on a cleaning rod and came up with a number similar to the last time I did it and it was 2.43 But with your technique the bullet was in case good, but was soft enough I could push it in with just my calipers. so I figured that should be soft enough and I did it four time and three times I had 2.395 and once 2.396 so to me this seems like a good number? just back off .005 maybe and set to 2.390? Thanks again!
