[QUOTE="DocDoc, post: 1018165, member: 69144"] I use a coated cleaning rod in the barrel. That way I can push from both directions till there is a firm touch of bullet to lands, but not sticking. The measurements become much more repeatable. I check the loaded length with a bullet that has been painted with a felt tip marker to be certain that I am not touching, or barely touching the lands. That becomes the max OAL, if it fits in the magazine. Start with a low charge, do the Berger seating depth test, use the best seating depth to run a ladder test to find nodes on the way to the maximum. [/QUOTE]
