[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2277338, member: 116181"] I use the Hornady tool to jam a bullet pretty darn hard into the lands and the modified case hard forward onto the shoulder. Use a headspace comparator to measure the difference between the modified case and a fired case, add that to CBTO using the modified case, and that's the maximum "hard stop" length allowing the bolt to close on a case with seated bullet. Then work shorter from there. All the measurement is telling you where the starting line is for the interactions between several variables (including irregularities in the case and the chamber), it's meaningless other than as a reference point.
