[QUOTE="Fire306, post: 683780, member: 12409"] I always just use a fired case, which a bullet should practically fall into. Pinch it just enough between your fingers to gently hold a bullet. Set the bullet in the case so it is out of the case as far as it will stay there. Gentle chamber the "dummy" round, the bullet will be pushed into the case as it comes up against the lands. Gently remove, and measure. That shows you the distance to the lands, seat your bullets to your desired jump from there. [/QUOTE]
