[QUOTE="rmorgan9718, post: 691978, member: 27677"] first off, try to find someone who reloads and will sit with you for a session or two. next, COL (cartridge overall length) is based on the SAAMI specs for a gun chambers, but I have found that if you seat a bullet which will pass easily thru your magazine, and as near the rifling lands as possible, this is a good starting point for accuracy. Use a dial or digital vernier caliper to determine this length. I have a 10 year on Beta Shooting Chrony, and it still helps define some of the mysteries of certain powder/caliber/projectile/primer combinations. But if you plan to follow the reloading manuals, you will be measuring your gun's output against that used to develop the load manual data. Take a close look at what gun, barrel length, etc. were used to develop that load, and use a dose of salt with it. Individual items quite often a decisions based on spur of the moment/opportunity knocking situations. Good luck and stay safe. [/QUOTE]
