[QUOTE="Mach 1, post: 1683435, member: 104202"] You don’t have to have a modified case to find the point of contact to the lands. Take an empty unprimed case and seat one of your 105 Vdls extra long. Keep seating the bullet down until the bolt will close on the round. Then take a sharpe and color the bullet around the point on the bullet where the bullet should contact the lands of the rifling. You will see land marks on the bullet. Recolor the bullet and seat the bullet 10 thou at a time until the marks aren’t as obvious and then repeat seating the bullet another 5 or 3 thou at a time to where you no longer see the land marks in the coloring on the bullet. It takes longer than having a modified case but can be just as accurate. Essentially you’ll only ruin one bullet after pulling it and you’ll just have to resize the piece of brass you used to get the neck tension back where it needs to be but it works well. I use this method even if I have a modified case just to double check my findings. [/QUOTE]
