[QUOTE="lineman69, post: 546286, member: 14547"] Thank you all who responded.I have since discussed this with the gun builder and eaten my humble pie. As rscott said (1) The Hornady modified cases aren't consistent. You should compare the length from case head to shoulder datum line of the modified case to a once fired case using the proper Hornady headspace adapter for your caliper. ..or, similar tool. The modified case headspace measurement is often much shorter than SAMMI and/or you fired brass. So, you may want to factor that into your measurements. Now doing the above with the tools mentioned above the modified case was in fact the same 2.88" from base to datum line. However the smith recommended i set the O.A.L Gauge & modified case aside (hornady lock n load) and just neck size a case 1/3 and seat the bullet by chambering and closing bolt, after doing so my new measurement was exactly were he said it would be 2.85" base to ogive. I guess sometimes the answer really is right under my nose. Thanks again [/QUOTE]
