[QUOTE="Nikkel, post: 902068, member: 52953"] Here is a no cost tool idea that works for me.Using one of your spent brass take a dremmel tool with ultra thin cutting tip and cut 2 or 3 cuts in the end of brass to allow the bullet to slide in and out when (firmly) pushed and pulled by hand. You can then place the bullet in the brass just a little to make sure when you chamber the bullet it will push it back into the brass as it makes contact with the lands. Eject the dummy load carefully and slowly, then measure. Repeat 3 or 4 times to ensure that the bullet has not moved in casing as you eject it. I usually place a little coating on the bullet so it does not stick when contacting the lands. This seems to get me a perfect zero point with the same or better accuracy as the fancy tools. Once I have that zero point I can start seeing how much bullet jump my rifle likes with that bullet. Ray [/QUOTE]
