[QUOTE="biednick, post: 2657642, member: 123604"] Don't get too caught up in getting a perfect measurement of where the bullet hits the lands. At the end of the day it's just a measurement to give you an idea of the longest round you can load that will still chamber properly. Use whatever you have to get close, then record all your measurements as BTO rather than distance to lands. It doesn't matter if your bullet jumps 9 thou or 12 thou as long as you know you want to load 2.156" BTO. While I agree using a piece of brass fired from your rifle will likely give a more accurate measurement than a generic factory modified case, there's no practical advantage to it since it's not a critical measurement.
