[QUOTE="Stormrider, post: 354494, member: 6072"] I don't believe that you are measuring the case length of the chamber with this method. If you use a bullet you are measuring the length of the chamber to where the chamber narrows to the diameter of the bullet. That is not the same as measuring max length of the case. If you look at the tool that Sinclair sells you will see that it has a lip on it that is the same diameter as the case. So when it contacts the chamber wall that is the same place that the cartridge case will contact it. I'll admit that there is not a lot of difference, but if you are going to be precise about you handloads... [/QUOTE]
