[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 316083, member: 10178"] Take a case and FL size it. Take a cutting tool like a hack saw and cut a line from the mouth of the case down to where the neck runs into the shoulder on one side of the neck. Clean up the burrs good. Before use always run the case back into your size die to make sure it tightens up the neck. Now take the bullet you want to use and just start it into this case with your fingers. Slip this case and bullet into your rifle chamber and close the bolt. When the bullet ogive hits the lands it will push the bullet back into the case. Carefully remove the case from your rifle and measure the (OAL) over all length. This is your to the lands OAL measurement for this bullet. Right this length down. Now you can start finding the sweet spot by backing the bullets off the lands by seating it deeper into the case than this measurment. You can pull this bullet out of the case with your fingers and use it to reload. Do this with every different bullet make and weight. [/QUOTE]
