Forcing cone angles

Hi,
Simple question I think,
Are forcing cone angles measured by total angle or per side. I want to make up a tool to clean and polish my ruger and a Uberti.
I believe Rugers cone is 18 Degree's but I am not sure of the Uberti.

I'm not sure how it's measured, but 8 degrees is optimal for jacketed bullets, 11 degrees is optimal for lead.

kill 2 birds with one stone and firelap it instead. You will smooth the forcing cone and the barrel at the same time.

All mine are cut to 11 degrees. Brownell's sells the tools, simple to do. I hardly ever shoot jacketed bullets but 11 degrees seems to work well with them too.

In the past I cut my .44s and .45 to 11 degrees, and my .357s to 5 degrees. I now cut everything to 5 degrees.
