[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1360454, member: 1521"] The Stoney Point Hornady method is terrible IMO. If you're talking about finding 'touching' COAL/CBTO, the old cleaning rod method is pretty much best. No case needed at all for this(just a bullet). Otherwise, a split neck & soft seating of a waxed bullet will get you jam. Make a round ~25thou under jam, clean/mark it, chamber it, extract it, and look for marks. Seat a bit longer and longer, trial & error, to just touching. I don't know what that information will provide for you though as best seating will always be what testing & target show you. There is just way too much effort put into finding land relationships.
