Hello:
A brand new CZ 527 Varminter, .223 caliber. My plans will be to try different loads with the bullet, different distances from the lands. The problem is that if I check this with Stoney Point OAL guage and comparator, it will give me consistent readings but they are about .050" shorter than when I do it the "old" method of using a fired brass and driving the bullet home with some magic marker on it. That method provided me with a consistent readings also but like I said, were .050" longer than when using the Stoney Point.
Any ideas here on what I should do?
Thanks.
Pete
