[QUOTE="Miller Outdoors, post: 392764"] Take a small round file and file a slot in the middle of the case neck all the way down to the shoulder. Size the case and slide in your bullet just enough so it stays put. Chamber the round and the rifling will seat the bullet. Measure the ovarall lenght. Pull the bullet part way out and do this three or four times and measure the overall length each time. This will show you how long the round must be to touch the lands., Load some right at that length, some at .02 shorter and some .04 shorter than that length. Shoot some groups and see what your gun likes. [/QUOTE]
