[QUOTE="Miller Outdoors, post: 389715"] I kinda to this the redneck way. I take a sized, unprimed case and stand it up primer side down - I take a small round file and file right through the middle of the neck down to the shoulder. I then size it again. I take whatever bullet I'll be using and just get it started in the case with my fingers - then I unscrew the seating die a few turns and lower the arm to raise the bullet into the die. I screw the top of the die down until I feel tension, then a few more turns until I know it's started straight. I put it in the gun and close the bolt firmly, then carefully eject the shell and measure and record the overall length. I do this three or four times (you can pull the bullet back out of the neck with firm finger pressure) until I'm certain that the measurement is correct. I start loading by subtraction .02 from that overall measurement. It has worked well for years. [/QUOTE]
