[QUOTE="valleyloader, post: 916309, member: 73166"] I use the Hornady Lock N Load Gauge in combination with the Wilson case gauge. This may not be the best system but it has worked well for me so far. The reason I use the Wilson gauge is to find the difference in length between the hornady modified case and the cases that are fire formed to my chamber, which in my case is .004". Therefore I add .004" to the measurement that I get with the Hornady gauge. I know there are simpler ways to accomplish this, however I bought the Hornady gauge several years ago and realized that if I am not using a fire formed case I am not getting an accurate measurement from bolt face to lands. I have also seen where some have made their own out of all thread and a fire case. You could also soft seat a bullet longer than you know the COAL would be and chamber it then measure it. Also it is best to use a bullet comparator to take measurements to get the CBTO (cartridge base to ogive), it is more accurate than COAL. [/QUOTE]
