[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 130564, member: 2011"] Here's what I do. Start with a full length sized case with no primer. Then cut three slots from mouth to the top of the neck at equal distances around the case mouth with a dremel tool and cutter blade. Then completely debur everything and chamfer the case mouth. The case mouth should now hold the bullet sufficiently to start it into the case mouth by hand. Carefully chamber the dummy round and the leade should seat the bullet giving you the overall length that just touches the rifling with out jamming. After removing the dummy cartridge from the chamber back off a bunch on the seating die and insert the dummy into the die. Run the ram up as far as you are going to then CAREFULLY run the seater screw adjustment down until it just touches the bullet. Finally seat a bullet in an unprimed full length sized case to use as a standard. HTH [/QUOTE]
