I've tried measuring several AR15's with the Hornady OAL gauge to determine where the bullet contacts the lands. I don't have the curved version for semi-autos, but I am using the straight version, the one for bolt rifles, and simply removing the bolt carrier.
I am getting some unreasonably long readings. Readings that would basically not even leave enough of the bullet to seat it sufficiently, much less fit it in the mag.
Is this common in AR's? Is there an issue with using the bolt version of the tool?
