[QUOTE="justgoto, post: 416904, member: 17125"] The way I figure where my lands are with any given bullet is... I'll adjust my neck sizing die to just give me enough grip to keep the bullet in the case while holding the bullet downwards, leave the primer out since you'll use a wire to push the bullet out later. With the bullet just seated in the case 1/16 or 1/8 inches; chamber the bullet case combo, closing the bolt all the way. Slowly eject the case so that you stop it from flying out of the rifle, then measure the overall cartridge length. Repeat this a few times to make sure you are getting the right measurement. Sometimes the lands will grip the bullet and pull it back out, if you suspect that is happening, use a different case and set your neck sizing die to grip it less. Then you'll know exactly where the lands are and you will not have to guess. [/QUOTE]
