[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2745664, member: 1521"] This would really be a matter of your touching force. With a cleaning rod method, barrel pointed downward ~60deg, I slip a test bullet into the chamber and feed it to leade with the eraser end of a pencil. I leave that pencil weight against bullet base. With my cleaning rod tool inserted in muzzle I can gently lift the bullet on/off contact watching the pencil. I'm delicate with it. The only times I mess with this at all is when my highest acceptable COAL obviously hits the lands on chambering a dummy round. Otherwise, I don't care about land relationship, as I will be testing for best somewhere off the lands (OTL). [/QUOTE]
