[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 875684, member: 39764"] WHOA......First off, you either have a neck tension issue or gorrila hands. :D You should not be able to 'slide' the pill into the case when closing the bolt normally. Your neck tension is way too loose if you can. It's on the lands if it's 'sliding' into the case neck. If it is, measure the COAL by removing the case and pill after 'sliding' it into the case and closing the bolt. That will be loaded to the lands, if it don't go any farther (you will see tiny rifling marks on the bullet ogive where it contacts the rifling at the end of the throat). You are determining COAL the hard way but it will be a valid measurement for that particular pill....and ONLY that pill. Different bullets have different shaped ogives and different shaped ogives enter the throat area at different lengths depending on that ogive and bullet length itself... Back to the neck tension thing.... Its imperative that the neck of the case holds the pill tightly enough that rifle recoil don't move it and it don't move jostling around in your coat pocket either.... You are loose as a goose.....:) Now, what kind/type of reloading dies do you have and describe the way you size the brass and seat the pills...... Meanwhile, I'll get my popcorn in the microwave....
