[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 2071238, member: 38048"] If you take the extractor out you can not use the wheeler method. Your using the extractor to pull on the case to feel the click. If you took the extractor out the bolt will open and the case won't move. I use the wheeler method and I don't remove the extractor or the ejector. It just works great to get you close to the touch length. The wheeler method doesn't give you jam length it tells you when your bullet is just off the rifling. Off the rifling and jam are 2 different things. Crushing the bullet into the rifling on a sized case will give you max jam length. This varies from case to case and depends on lube in the neck or carbon left in or coated bullets. Lots of variables to max jam. But the wheeler method will give you a zero point to start from that is consistent. Find this spot and anything longer has jam and anything shorter has jump. It's the first reference number I write down for any seating depth adjusting. Shep [/QUOTE]
