[QUOTE="milboltnut, post: 2431634, member: 117662"] The best way is to load a fired formed case dummy round with red lock tite, wiping off the excess and gently load it in the chamber, let it sit for a few minutes to stiffen. Let it sit 24 hours before you put pressure on it just to be safe. Then get a micrometer seater to set your depth . The oal comparators don't sit on the ogive of the bullet verses where the ogive of the bullet meets the lands of your barrel. As the throat erodes the diameter changes. [/QUOTE]
