[QUOTE="Slick8, post: 1150301, member: 52585"] Here's what Mudrunner is referring to. It's a great way to measure Base to Ogive of a loaded round. You simply attach the red anvil to a dial caliper and use the insert for your bullet diameter. [url=http://www.midwayusa.com/product/231904/hornady-lock-n-load-bullet-comparator-basic-set-with-6-inserts]Hornady Lock-N-Load Bullet Comparator Basic Set 6 Inserts[/url] I have Redding dies and recently bought a micrometer adjustable seating die and love it in my 7RM. It's not necessary but sure makes things nice. I agree with the above, that running on the lands will show press signs sooner then if backed off. The reason is that being seated at or into the lands requires more force to start the bullet moving forward then if backed off of the lands. I've had excellent results with running bergers from .018 to .050" off the lands. Here's a good read from Berger on the subject.
