[QUOTE="Walt-Cen, post: 1186839, member: 83660"] Hi guys, I have a question regarding bullet over all seating length. I thought that the measurement was taken from the bolt face side of the cartridge to the where the projectile touches the lands which is a constant never changing length. however the fellow in the link below says that it is made up of two lengths, from the ogive to the shoulder to the bolt face. If the shoulder on the Honady modified cartridge isn't bumped up against the chamber's shoulder why should any thing els matter? There could be no shoulder at all, the distance from bolt face to lands would be the same. By watching this video I have become confused with what I feel are unnecessary calculations, but he seems to attract a lot of prays which makes me feel like I'm missing something. I personally don't use the Hornady tool, I have made my own and drilled and tapped a once fired case to measure my oal. If anyone has watch this and understands it perhaps it could be explained. Thanks.
