[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 95014, member: 2011"] Duff, Here's what I do to measure seating depth. Using a full length resized unprimed case. Use cutter wheel (chop saw wheel) on dremel tool and cut 3 equidistant cuts from case mouth to bottom of neck/top of shoulder. The idea is to make a case that will hold a bullet a minimum amount. If too tight bullet will stick in rifling. It too loose it'll fall into the case. Next, insert bullet of intrest into the case, just enough to hold it then, Carefully chamber the case w/bullet. Close the bolt. Carefully remove the cartridge. Waa Laa, you now have a cartridge with the bullet seated by the rifling. It neck tension is correct it will be just touching the taper on the rifling (leade I think its called) [/QUOTE]
