I'm using a Hornday OAL guage to measure my distance to the lands on a 6.5x284 Norma. Just recieved my Hornady modified today and when i insert a bullet in it, it has a much tighter fit than I imagined and does not allow me to push the bullet smoothly. It seems like there are two points where the bullet really binds up as well. So needless to say, I'm not sure that I'm getting an accurate measurement to the lands. I could be hitting the lands or the bullet may be binding up in the case and I think that I'm at the lands.
Should I get a .264 diameter brush and apply some polishing compound and hit the inside of the modified case to try to smoothen it out?
I have tried with 140 VLDs and 156 EOL and get different distances to the lands. Both bullet would bind up in my modified case.
