I appreciate your sharing of knowledge. I was CBTO measuring some. Does this make any sense? As an example, I was making a 55gr SP 2. So, maybe my process needs improvement. Or maybe with that particular bullet, it happens to be shorter. It seems like if I push more firmly on the gauge, I might pop the bullet right out. If I push harder, the bullet does not come out easily.
I have had to put a rod down the wrong way. If you know anything about this, I would appreciate any kind of help. That spec is used everywhere; for rifle manufacturers, magazine dimensions, ammo producers, and loading manuals. As you can imagine, there are a lot of different bullet dimensions across manufacturers, especially in the nose profile. Most of the variation will be in the nose length, from the shoulder of the ogive to the tip.
If you look at the loading manuals, the same COAL is listed for that cartridge for every bullet used for load data. Focus on CBTO for accuracy and consistency. Good to hear. I am actually really excited to start experimenting with this. Again, I thank you. Some bullets contact the rifling the same way, others are a little ways apart. They all shot well. Would it be better to send once fired cases to Hornady for modification instead of buying their new modified cases?
I bought the Hornady O. L gauge and the bullet comparation. I shoot a round in the gun, then bump the shoulder back. L gauge. I thought it would or should be the same. Can you clarify for me. Enjoy the good information. Not necessarily. I would use the bullet you plan to shoot for your max CBTO and initial seating depth. I usually find that even though different bullets vary in max CBTO measurements, they shoot well at the same seating depth.
For instance, if a SMK comes in at 2. Love your content and videos. Would it make sense to measure the shoulder of a fire formed case to the Hornady case and add that difference minus shoulder bump to my CBTO measurement I get from the Hornady case?
I under stand how to measure bullets but cant understand why. Bill — the seating depth is not necessarily the same. I use the Sinclair bullet Comparitor also. It touches the bullet close to where the rifling would contact the bullet. But when you seat a bullet, the bullet is being pushed down with the Seating Stem.
The seating stem contacts the bullet at a different point than the Sinclair bullet comparitor. The difference in bullet contact with the seating stem vs the bullet comparitor could cause a difference in seating depth.
