Well, this weekend I pulled one of the SST's from a factory cartridge and measured COAL for my 264LBC from BHW. I also re-measured the Amax, so the readings would be apples to apples, in terms of round count. After an additional 900 rounds down the pipe, the Amax now measures 2.303" COAL, with the SST coming in at 2.307", as measured with the LNL comparator. I only measured the one SST, whereas I averaged three different Amax's.
If I extrapolate the data backwards to the 980 round count, the SST would have measured ~2.276", compared to the Amax's 2.272".
