I have had problems getting that tool to work right.
What I have done is get a general idea, then start loading a series of bullets .005 longer until I get the bullet a bit stuck in the lands (if you can't extract a tap on a wooden dowel will knock it out. )
They also say to tap hard on the rod to get a good (or better reading).
I don't have the data but I don't think I went more than .020 further than the Hornady measured.
the .100 sounds a lot, but if it shoots its not an issue. I don't know what the approach on that chamber are. Is it SAMI, NATO or Wylde etc?
The reading can be siwash if not done on the straight part (you can get an angle to it depending on which side you use) , but in that case it would be long and not short.
