[QUOTE="txlongrange, post: 275429, member: 9882"] I'm pretty sure that I know what you are talking about now....and no you don't need it. All you need to do is create a dummy round for your rifle so you will know the distance to the lands and you can start loading based on this. Of course all the general warnings apply....seating into the lands (ITL) can create excessive pressure....so be cautious. Do a search. There are tons of posts from folks on here that address this topic as well has how certain bullets tend to like to be loaded ITL....some like minimal jump and others like more jump. Actually, I believe I remember you posting about jumping Barnes bullets, so I'm sure you know what you are doing as relates to the dummy round. But then you need a comparator to get a true measured COAL. Take care, TXLR [/QUOTE]
