[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1142087, member: 50867"] There are several ways to get a rough estimate as to how far your bullet is from the lands. But measuring from anywhere other than the ogive amounts to a SWAG and IMO that's no way to load with a high degree of accuracy in mind. May as well use factory ammo. A Hornady OAL gauge will run you about thirty bucks. [B][U][U][URL="http://ads.midwayusa.com/product/570611/hornady-lock-n-load-overall-length-gage-bolt-action"]Hornady Lock-N-Load Overall Length Gage Bolt Action[/URL][/U][/U] [/B]You'll spend another fifteen bucks on an OAL gauge modifide case and a bushing; for fifty bucks you're all done. Of course, you'll need a good pair of calipers but that too should be a standard tool at the reloading bench. It's a tool you will use again and again for years to come. [/QUOTE]
