Hi David, Interesting question you raise. I always calculate to string height because that is where the engineer determined the optimum mechanical advantage for the action. But... If you measure from bore center to strike point then add 1/8" to an imaginary line, that line represents the optimum regulation height for that hammer. No matter whether that point is below or above the actual string height. So, taking that in reverse... Newton
