[QUOTE="22 308 Target Shooter, post: 656526, member: 48604"] Ok so I just finished up trying to find some seating depth numbers for Berger 175 VLD's in my palma rifle. I started by attempting to use my Stoney Point gauge, but ended up dropping the gauge and damaging the case mouth to the point of "unusableness" (probably not a word). That was the only fired case I happened to have on hand that was drilled and tapped for the gauge. %#$@! Thought to myself what now, so I pulled out the unopened Frankfort Arsenal Overall Length Gauge. Now I know this gives the C.O.A.L. using the tip and I usually use the Ogive, but I think I can do the figuring. Here's my numbers; first two before Stoney Point went to the floor. 1. 2.300 (Ogive) 2. 2.219 (Ogive) Dropped Stoney Point , son of a $%#@. Frankfort Arsenal 1. 2.808 2. 2.765 3. 2.798 4. 2.811 5. 2.819 6. 2.808 7. 2.805 8. 2.806 9. 2.805 10. 2.798 11. 2.805 So After I started to get the feel for things and how the system was suppose to be used I think I started to get some consistancy, (Some). Now I'm just curious as to what some out there would do with the numbers, take an average now somewhere between the 2.805 and 2.808 and just pick a spot to start ? Those VLD's are a ^%$*! :rolleyes: C.D. [/QUOTE]
