I bought a half dozen letter C Drill Bits from a local tool supplier today and didn't take my Mic.

I need them to make the primer pocket in some bushings I put in 50 BMG cases.

Letter C is .242. Mt last one from McMasters that I broke, was .242.

These are .247.

I'm as mad at myself as them. I drilled it ASSUMING they were correct and the primer falls out.
Won't make that mistake tomorrow.
These here is God's finest scupturings! And there ain't no laws for the brave ones! And there ain't no asylums for the crazy ones! And there ain't no churches, except for this right here!

I always tell my guys to measure every tool they use. Load a bunch of wrong-sized tools in a CNC, and make flawless junk. Drills and reamers get tossed in the wrong drawer, or in your case, they're just sized wrong (?!) In my trade- toolmaking- .005 is a football field, relatively speaking.
