[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2348164, member: 10755"] Before you fall deeper into this rabbit hole, start off by cutting 2 opposite slits in a case, remove all burrs and size it. Place a bullet just into the neck, carefully chamber it and close the bolt and open it and carefully extract the case. Do this several times to make sure nothing is moving and measure the COAL each time. If the numbers keep coming out the same or very very close, then that’s your touch measurement, work BACKWARDS/DEEPER into the case from this number .025”. I cut my chambers so that the preferred bullet has the bullet heal level with the neck/shoulder juncture, if this is what you have had done then this is what I would load for regardless of the arbitrary mag box or throat length. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
