Not as accurate as doing it off the ogive but you will find it a good starting point for the blasers as you may not get good results close to the lands.

If your running a factory barrel I would start by seating 50 thou off the lands.
Every cal I have had shot shit when seated close to lands and shot mint with a heap of jump.

My custom barrels also like a bit of jump but not as much as the factory barrels.

Thanks for that, I used the cleaning rod method tonight as that was also a method I used to used. 1 barrel is factory .222 and the other is a Hardy .260.
