Isn't it more fun to shoot elr against a flat earth opponentIn fairness, the human race discovered that the Earth is near-spherical ~2500 years ago, but apparently a lot of folks keep on keeping on...

It has been proposed that less than .003 is good and more is bad. JRB did a test with no noticeable difference.So this brings up another thought (and honestly, I never considered neck tension in the equation before...thanks for that logic)...perhaps rather than being used to adjust the concentricity of the bullet, it could be used for simply measuring it, and sorting the ammo into two piles; pile #1= less than .003, pile #2=greater than .003 and see if there is a measurable difference between the two?
Again, with my shooting skills I doubt I could tell the difference. But I guess it can't hurt to try.
Also, FWIW, with regard to measuring closer to the tip of the bullet, you can pretty much adjust the dial indicator as far forward as you please.
Good to know.It has been proposed that less than .003 is good and more is bad. JRB did a test with no noticeable difference.

Benchrest shooters rely on it.

I love root beer with popcorn.I’ll make the popcorn this time but I’m not sharing.
I should be able to instantly see the results and shouldn't be turning out rounds that need to be fixed because I have made my process good enough to not introduce measurable error, along the way

TBH, I have found more 'crooked bullet' error in factory ammo than my own reloadsIf making crooked bullets I might invest in better dies and or a good press. Improving brass prep or process could be time well spent also. If you get a measuring tool you will have to do that anyway. A sturdy single stage press without any moving parts except the ram will make straight ammo. The more gysmos on it the tougher it is.
Cramming a crooked bullet into the lands thinking it will take all the runout out of poorly loaded ammo is not the answer.
Do flat earthers call the atmosphere the atmoflat?I believe the earth is round, but the moon is flat. I’m a flat mooner.
I also believe astronauts successfully landed on the moon but only because it was flat. If it was round they would have slid off.
It is definitely a metric of consistency, and any quantified measurements are better indicators than butstock feel. The problem comes when we over value numbers that are not significant to our end result.TBH, I have found more 'crooked bullet' error in factory ammo than my own reloads
Yeah, the stuff going for $70.00 a box.
Well, a good test would be to compare a group of perfectly concentric loads and compare the printed group of obviously non-concentric loads. Has anyone tried this?

Dozens of folks have tested this and shared their results, and the arrows point in the same direction.
I believe time is relative. The more time I spend with my relatives the slower it moves.I believe the earth is round, but the moon is flat. I’m a flat mooner.

To be completely fair, everyone KNEW it was flat before that...
I keep an open mind when testing. Things you know for a "fact" can change over time. Many examples of that in life.
As I quote quite often around here - Twain once said, "It's not what you know that gets you into trouble, it's what you know that just ain't so."
This is true to a degree. The industry standard from most commercial ammo mfrs. is .002 I have found out to 200 yards with most hunting bullets the rifle will compensate for .002 or even .003 But I have also found going from .30,06 to .270 Win, concentricity with the barrel becomes very critical. It even gets worse with the newer High BC bullets like the ELD. So yes, I do nudge a few bullets once in a while. And yes, it does help.However, I recently watched a video where a guy was dissing this as smoke and mirrors gadgetry that is totally unnecessary (in his opinion) as he claims the bullets will center themselves either upon chambering
This ….. it sums up all we do as shooters and enthusiasts.“Cogito est, ergo est” is one of the greatest failings of the human race. Trust in God, all others, bring data.
