O.K. guys ,I give. Starrett mic's are not to be trusted. Bullet dia. doesn't really matter. And put your faith in trial&error. I have to wonder if you approach your powder charges the same way? Don't trust your powder scales.Powder charge weight doesn't really matter . All that matters is how your gun shoots that load. I stand by my original post. I ordered .451 dia bullets from X-Treme Bullets and received bullets .452 in dia. I have contacted X-Treme Bullets about this matter, but they have yet to respond. I was merely trying to determine if anyone had a similar experience with this manufacture? I didn't mean to ruffle any feathers.

Ken, you think my micrometers are off? Both pair? The 9mm bullets I purchased measured .355 as advertised. Being a retired tool & die maker, I think I'm qualified to make an accurate measurement. The bullets measured .452.

I ordered 500 230 gr. RN bullets in .45 cal. advertised to be .451 in diameter. When they arrived they were .452 instead ( checked with Starrett micrometers ).
