Not to nitpick, but the method is not to add one caliber, it is to add one bullet diameter. Isn't a .270 Win larger than .270". Also, to be even more correct one should add about .005 to account for paper shrinkage/springback. Of course, if you just want a ballpark measurement these refinements can be ignored except in competition where they don't use an outside to outside measurement for this very reason.
