You typically need to do a fair amount of fine tuning to the dimensions of the nut (I use Tusq) to get it to fit, but also to have it look nice and play right. I usually sand a little off the bottom to lower it just a bit (I will have more to say about the bottom of the nut, in another posting). I also find that I have sand the sides just a bit to get it to fit in the groove and I always have to take a bit off the sides, and the round all the edges gently. I am using a caliper to measure the width to match the neck width, but it is not necessary, as you can just check it for fit between sanding a little material off each end until if fits.
