[QUOTE="g0rd0, post: 1013476, member: 44168"] no need for expensive tools neck size a brass from your rifle leave it empty with no primer lube the inside of the neck and seat a bullet in it just enough to hold in place. Now chamber that and as you close the bolt the bullet will seat as it contacts the rifleing. You now know the absolue max oal for that bullet in your rifle. From there I would sudjest backing that measurement off 25 thou, 30thou, and 35 thou load 5 of each and see wich works best. Readjust your dummy to the best length and keep that for checking the seat depth on your seating die [/QUOTE]
