OAL question - 04/21/16
I'm having trouble getting accurate 17 Rem measurements using the Hornady OAL gauge/threaded cases/comparator/inserts. With older Berger MT HP 25's, I'm getting measurements between 1.870 and 1.940. Hornady 25 HP's are also giving me fits. I'm being very careful with my inner rod "pushing" method.
I'm ready to try the split neck method. I'm confused as to how you guys measure base to ogive with this method though. It seems to me the comparator would push the bullet further into the case mouth when measuring????
