[QUOTE="COBrad, post: 2032941, member: 1940"] As was already mentioned I too use the Sinclair Bullet Seating Depth Tool, item #59-4000. I use a fire formed case from my rifle. Gently drop a bullet down my rod guide to let it sit on the lands, then seat the same bullet to the indicated coal. I then use the bullet comparator to measure the cbto and that is my base measurement. I shoot mostly colony varmints at long ranges, frequently past 1K yards. I check and seat bullets to the new cbto every 50-100 shots. I can tell when my seating depth has changed as I start missing more. This method has worked for me for years. In my long range rifles I shoot VLD’s usually seated just touching the lands. [/QUOTE]
