This is the fourth of a five part series on tolerances in ammunition reloading.

This is the third of a five part series.

In this part we look at Cartridge Overall Length (COL) and crimp to discover what tolerance is recommended and whether or not we can get accurate measurements with the available instruments.

This is the second of a five part series on tolerance in reloading.

1. Tolerance in Reloading (Introduction),
2. Tolerance in Powder Throw,
3. Tolerance in COL and Crimp,

Introduction

I love my Dillon Precision HP1 Electronic Hearing Protectors but, after a couple of years at the outdoor range, the black vinyl covers had become cracked and the foam pads had lost their spring.

To Shoot Bullseye:

1. Use good equipment;
2. Learn proper technique;
3. Train your body/mind how to do it;
4. Practice, practice, practice; and
5. Let it happen. (Don’t think!)

Another Bullseye enthusiast recently passed along his formula for “red oil”. (This is *not* the same as the so-called “Ed’s Red” which, by the way, is *not* named after me. I have no connection to either of these concoctions.)
