[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 679991, member: 9281"] This is similar to how I find the rifling in a particular rifle as well. I make sure and use a fire formed case and FL size just enough to allow it to chamber ok, this way the shell fits the chamber much better and the bullet will be more centered to the rifling. After seeing rifling marks in the sharpie band that I've colored around the bullet I continue seating deeper in small increments until the marks are so faint they are almost not visible in the black sharpie band. This is my max length to touch the rifling or "0" (No jump and no jam) Now I have a reference or starting point to work from to set up my jump or some even like a little jam. [/QUOTE]
