Any use cerrosafe for caliber id?

Why don't you just add all ten together and move the decimal point to give you the average? Or as easily just chose the mean. The problem I see with "best" measurement is bias. I agree the Hornady method is fine but some what finicky depending on the seating of the device on the back of the...

Yes I prefer this method: 1. clean barrel and chamber. 2. take fired brass and resize and knockout primer. Cut one thin longitudinal cut on one side of brass neck with Dremel. 3. Remove ejector from bolt. 4. lightly coat bullet base with gorilla glue and insert into case. Wipe off excess glue...

is this chamber misalignment?

you might check out the 7mm SAW results from Clayton at West Texas Ordnance. He uses a modified 7mm08 SRP case. His website includes different powders, 162 and 166? Hornady bullets with significant increase in velocity likely due to thicker brass, small rifle primer and chamber mods...
