Don't get 'fussed' over the numbers or the accuracy. Why....? Because:-

1) not many people have access to accurate caster gauges
2) You don't have flexible adjustment of the caster.

What you do have is 'reference' (or 'indexed') adjustment, usually in 3 settings, full forward, full back or middle.

Even if you did know the EXACT angle you wanted, you don't have a way to adjust them to match those that angle. Unless you fancy bending the chassis to suit....
