[QUOTE="Darcey, post: 539823, member: 31791"] I use the Hornday lock and load overall gauge to find max overall bullet length and buy a Hornday bullet comparator (which measures the ogive of bullet instead of to tip) . Measure The dummy round from oal length gauge and that length will be touching the lands. Now seat your bullet .010" shorter ,or whatever length you are wanting to be off the lands. Very accurate and simple way. I have tried many different ways and found this to be most simple and accurate. [/QUOTE]
