[QUOTE="CRNA, post: 524152, member: 22495"] I plan on doing that for some of the other calibers that I load for. I just happen to be working on some brass right now and my brain is dead. My LNL gauge says that my OAL to load to the lands for a SMK is 2.750". My fireformed brass is .015" longer at the shoulder (using a headspace gauge). So to seat a bullet in MY brass to touch the lands, would I not SUBTRACT .015" and load MY brass for MY gun to an OAL (measured at ogive) to a measurement of 2.735"? Oh crap. Now I'm thinking too hard and that doesn't make sense. Both cases are the same case trimmed length, so what would it matter. Now I'm thinking that they would be loaded the same. My shoulder has just progressed forward to fit my chamber, but the shell trim lengths for both my brass and the "modified case" by Hornady are the exact same. Help somebody. [/QUOTE]
