[QUOTE="timberelk, post: 1407956, member: 100952"] I removed the firing pin and attempted to remove the ejector pin but when hitting the pin that holds the ejector in with a punch, I was actually starting to bend my punch so I stopped and left the firing pin out and took 6 or 7 twice fires cases, pinched the case mouth with my fingers until the bullet fit very tight into the mouth of the case then left it extremely long and chambered the round letting the rifling push the bullet into the case. I did this about 15 times. A few times I got around 3.002 because I believe the rifling pushed the bullet in and then held on to it for a brief second while I was pulling the bolt out which would result in a longer OAL measurement but 90% of the time I was between 2.909-2.912 so I seated to 2.885 and got decent results [/QUOTE]
