[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 859130, member: 12443"] back in the old days we just took an empty unprimed case and partialy seated the bullet. then put it in the gun and closed the bolt causing the bullet to be fully seated. then by turning the stem on the die you can get the exact seating depth desired. using a sharpie or smoke from a match will tell you when no land contact is made. when your happy with the seating depth keep the sample for future reference. that way if you change bullets you can easily reset your die back to that one. no tools involved at all.
