Hello everyone I have a ?. I have a Remington 700 bdl ss dm that I am just starting to reload for. I am wanting to use the 130 grain berger vld's. I used the method of sticking the rod down the barrel until it touches the bolt face and marking. Then inserting a bullet in to the chamber and holding there then again sticking the rod down and marking to find the COAL to the lands. I came up with 2.940 does this sound right? Berger said max would be 2.800 . If I was to start .010 off the land at 2.930 seems like a pretty big difference. I also did this procedure with 100 grain Nosler BT and came up with 2.830. I would appreciate any info you could give.
Thanks Killman
