[QUOTE="ATH, post: 242988, member: 1656"] I can tell you what I did -- the sharpie method. I seated a bullet long in a dummy case, and seated it deeper and deeper until the bolt would just close (ie bullet was contacting the lands). Then a set back like .05, and that was the length I seated to. When you say OAL I assume you mean measured to the ogive, the true OAL to the tip of the bullet is IMO a useless measurement in reloading except in making sure you can feed from the mag. Good luck...
