How do you determine "at the lands" by your method?

[QUOTE="JustC, post: 33685, member: 817"] gents,..I always get a rifling mark from all 5 or 6 lands when I chamber a round and then remove it (using my method) I am thinking that by me placing a fair amount of pressure against the base of the bullet (with the rod which contains the 2 stops for case head and bullet base) that the soft copper jacket has actually allowed me to push the bullet into the rifling by hand. then,..when I position the second rod stop against a fired case head inserted into the chamber, I take the distance between the 2 stops positioned on the rod,..then add the bullet length, and I have the OAL to the lands. (as per the instructions) Do you all think I could push the bullet into the lands by hand and therefore change my OAL measurement to one in which I have REALLY calculated an "into" the lands situation? Also,..I assume the members here would consider ANY MARK at all on the jacket to be an "in the lands" situation? thanks [ 05-21-2004: Message edited by: JustC ] [/QUOTE]
