[QUOTE="rugers, post: 1609239, member: 61920"] If you dont have all that fancy stuff, take bolt out of rifle put the bullet you are going to use in barrel and gently seat it with a piece of dowel rod insert a cleaning rod into barrel from muzzle mark rod when it stops on bullet, remove bullet, put bolt back in and close it reinsert rod until it is on bolt face put another mark on rod, remove rod and measure the Mark's , it will get you a starting point, back it off a bit and work up. Sinclair makes a col gauge that is relatively cheap and can be used on any cartridge. I will state that the above method is not the most accurate and would really suggest you invest in any one of the mentioned col gauges they all work real well [/QUOTE]
