[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 616451, member: 5219"] Sounds like alot of work to figure out where your bullet is located. So now you theoretically know where the bullet is located. Not sure what your information will do for you. IMO you don't actually need to know where it is located. Most repeating rifles won't allow you to engage the rifling and still fit the magazine box. I am not sure what you are tying to do. If you trying to prevent the bullet from touching the rifling then there is a fast and easy way to check. If a bullet is seated out so it will engage the rifling you can see the marks from the rifling easily if you first polish the bullet jacket with some steel wool. SO if you polish the bullet and don't see any marks after placing the dummy round in the chamber the bullet is not touching. If the bullet isn't touching the rifling which im my opinion is preferred for most hunting rifles AND it fits and feeds from magazine just work up your load. Sure there are advanced techniques for handloading in regards to bullet seating depth. Many of my hunting rifles shoot very well with a the bullet seated out as far as possible and still fit and feed from magazine and not touching the rifling. Final note the loading books usually mention cartridge overall length (OAL) as a reference. You can compare your length to the book if you are interested. [/QUOTE]
