[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1384864, member: 74902"] OK here's the issue with the Hornady case. It does not measure from the bolt face to the lands. It only measures from the shoulder to the lands. Think about it, you push the hornady case in until it stops. What causes it to stop? The shoulder of the case hits the shoulder of the chamber. You then push the pullet out until it hits the lands. The Hornady case is shorter than the chamber because it is an unfired case. It's kinda hard to visualize, but it is true. When I do the Wheeler method, I don't cut the neck so the bullet will slide in and out. I seat a dummy round long so that the bullet will hit the lands before the bolt will close. Then I continue seating it deeper and deeper, with the seater die, until the bolt just closes with no resistance. You can get very precise this way. Then when your done you have a very exact dummy round. [/QUOTE]
