[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 594937, member: 9281"] Have not used the tool you're talking about so I cannot comment on the problem you may be having with the tool. When finding the rifling I like to mark the ogive/bearing surface intersection with a black sharpie and carefully adjust the bullet out (toward the rifling) from a certain starting depth. I use the Hornady collet style bullet puller during this process. Once you just start to see rifling marks that scuff the sharpie you are very close. Then you can fine tune a thousandth or two with your depth (using a seating die) until the marks are so faint that they are almost imaginary. Often you will only get one or two marks in the black too if the rifling is not perfect. This can be time consuming but seems to work excellent. [/QUOTE]
