[QUOTE="Bodywerks, post: 859139, member: 62694"] Hmm. I just close the bolt, run my cleaning rod down the barrel until it hits the bolt face, and mark the rod, in relation to the end of the muzzle, with a piece of tape. Then I remove the bolt and put a bullet into the lands and hold it in place while doing the same with the cleaning rod. The measurement between the two pieces of tape is the oal for that particular bullet. Of course, we're more concerned with ogive length, so measure the total length of that bullet and measure the length of the base of the bullet to give and subtract that value from the bullet length. Take that value and subtract it from your oal. This is your ogive length to the lands, and it is the same value regardless of the bullet you use t [/QUOTE]
