[QUOTE="80Maro, post: 537364, member: 36091"] What I do is cut a slit in the neck of a empty case and insert a bullet so it's seated extra long. Thrn chamber the round and close the bolt. Carefully extract the case, making sure the bullet dosen't drag along the side of the chamber. Measure the case afterwards. Do this at least 10 times to get an average. You will start to see consistant numbers, disregard numbers that are way out to lunch, either the bullet was pulled out some when extracting it or what not. Works for me. I don't know if this is accurate enough for you, just throwing it out there. Do this for each bullet type you intend to shoot to find the distance to the lands for each type. [/QUOTE]
