[QUOTE="Okanogan, post: 1693224, member: 90397"] I use the method in the video when I can and use the Hornady tool or the marked rod method when I can't. The video method also shows up in a video by Wheeler accuracy and has proven to be the most repeatable for me. Once I find the just touching seating length, I put that dummy round aside for future reference. I have found that generally if I compared the wheeler method to the other two methods, the other methods tended to give me longer results. (i.e., I was probably a few thousands into the lands using the other methods) The OP indicated this exercise was to set up to load 300 WM with 215 Bergers. I have two GAP 300WMs both chambered with the same reamer. Neither one of them shoots best with the 215 Bergers 0.020" or closer to the lands. For me, it was trial and error in load development with seating depth to find what worked best for each rifle. As long as I was working off a constant reference it wouldn't really matter that much if my original determination of distance to the lands was off a few thousands. [/QUOTE]
