I do not subscribe to the theory that an out of spec barrel issue can be corrected by experimenting with oversized bullets. Considering the time and components that will be needed to conduct such an experiment.Originally Posted by JonB_in_Glencoe
Yeah, but a mold rabbit hole is lots cheaper than a gun rabbit hole, LOL
If you find such endeavors satisfying then it's your choice. I simply make other choices.
Apparently this is a subject we do not agree on. And I'll refrain from joking about it.
I was given a Hornady case length gauge, been pretty happy with it. The 5/16-32 doesn't sound right for the tap size. I'll have to check what I use.
I can't remember what I use but I know is pretty unusual. I think I remember where I put it. I'll check when I get home.
Typo on my part. It's 5/16 X 36

I do the cleaning rod method. Easy to do at the range. But that just gives you a COL for that bullet, that seating depth. I usually add .005" to the COL to give a slight seat to the throat, and start load development from there.

Found my tap. 5/16-36 is correct.
Dug my tap out, yup 5/16-36, ordered right off amazon. 32 just didn't sound right to this old guy's ears. Made a number of my own, that tap has been paid for several times over. Finding Hornady dummy cartridges for the tool is interesting when you are looking for things like 318 Westley Richards or 8x60S.
Indeed. They don't offer just anything. Which is fine. Not a big deal to work around.
