Well, we can throw some instrument error/variation into the equation. Measured 5 virgin Hornady cases with 0.350 collet. Results on left are from the shiny red Hornady Digital Caliper. Results in the right are from an ADT-8657 from NAPA.
1.2085. 1.2075
1.2085. 1.2070
1.2090. 1.2070
1.2095. 1.2080
1.2085. 1.2075
The quandary is which to trust more. The caliper from the company that sold me a digital scale that never worked (it would simply run from 0 gr to 15 gr then back to zero, rinse and repeat), or the chain that's living off its reputation and who sold me a hecho en mecho alternator for an E350 that lasted 3 months and a hecho en mecho starter for a 96 Tacoma that lasted less than 3 years (anyone whose ever replaced a starter on a gen 1Taco will feel my pain in that one!) I'll probably go with the ATD-8657 because it sounds more scientific.
Then there is of course the question of instrument variation in the collet. We can all guess where the factory those come from is..........
