[QUOTE="C.E.G2860, post: 270193, member: 14779"] Just take a uncapped case and seat a bullet just in the neck of the case. Put the case in your action and close it. This will push the bullet into the case when it hits the lands. lift up on your bolt and push the bullet out with a cleaning rod. Be careful not to push the bullet into the case while pushing it out of the lanes. once the bullet is free of the lands you can take it out and messure the the oal and that is your oal to the lands. Shoot 3 shots at that oal and see how it groups, if you don't like it shorten the oal by .005" and shoot 3 more. Do this until you get the group you like. All guns shoot different at different spaces form the lands. [/QUOTE]
