Quote: "2.260 puts me .05 away from the lands."
I load 123 SST's like FLshooter(2.250-2.255). I use the "base to ogive" measurement since the oal varies a few thousandths.
When I measure with the SST, I get 2.262-2.265, so I'm loading .010" off the lands. Apparently my chamber is on the short side of the saami spec, but, it shoots whatever I feed it, even the Wolf steel shoots pretty good. I just loaded some ELD's to try. Don't have much info on them yet. I only shoot hogs and sometimes other varmints, so I don't 'have' to have sub moa accuracy, but I get it with my loads. Just passing on info, no brag. Good luck
