[QUOTE="ppoole, post: 1444866, member: 33431"] If the bullet was lodged in barrel then it was seated farther than .2, your bullet not only engaged the lands but was jammed into the them. Tension should have been good otherwise the bullet would have gone into the case, unless you had a compressed powder charge. I am not familiar with Frankford armory tool, but Sinclair and hornady makes one that measures from the ogive, which is the part of the bullet that touches the lands. That being said fa tool might do that as well. I would full length size (new brass for sure) make sure that my case length was the exact same chamfer and deburr, and reload. Make sure lock ring is locked so nothing can change, then reload that charge measure each and ret again. I would also give gun a good cleaning to make sure it did not have any build up at the throat. Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
