[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1559758, member: 69192"] I think that to determine the distance for the overall length of the cartridge to where the bullet [I]"meets the lands"[/I] in the barrel you have to split a resized case in three or four places to the neck/angle junction, start a bullet and close the bolt. It is recommended to perform this measurement two or three times to get an accurate measurement. To determine the [I]"overall case length"[/I] for your chamber, again a resized case, cut the neck approximately in the middle, place the top portion that you cut off over the bullet, start the bullet into the case and then close the bolt. This ought to give you the case overall length for the chamber of that particular rifle. Hopefully I wrote all this stuff to make some senses? It really utilizing all the materials that we have on hand instead of having to buy something that you are only going to use once or a few times. [/QUOTE]
