    Where Do I Measure!?!

    So I need to MIC some loaded rounds to find out what sized neck bushing I need for my Redding Die.

    Where exactly do I MIC the case neck?

    If I do it near the shoulder, it's of course slightly larger then near the case mouth. Tapers all the way up.

    Also, what is the correct way to use a set of calipers? Do I apply pressure to what I'm measuring? What I've been doing is putting lots of initial pressure, then releasing and reading what the number is after I released and the material has expanded slightly.

    Thanks Guys!

    PS: My crappy LEE press came in today (it's a temporary until my Forster comes in off back order) so I just loaded my first batch of rounds! SO EXCITING!!!!!
