[QUOTE="1SevenZero, post: 684452, member: 51825"] Here is the technique I use. 1. I'll use a fired casing that has been neck sized, trimmed and deburred (no primer and no powder). I do this because this is how I reload regularly. If you plan to full length resize every time than use one of those. 2. Take a bullet from the same box I'll be reloading from and color it black with a marker. 3. Seat the bullet in the casing just enought to hold it in place. 4. Chamber the round, making sure to fully close the bolt. 5. Open the bolt and extract the round. 6. Now seat it with the desired off set using your die and now you have a reference round when you are setting up your dies. *Now the reason I color the bullet is because sometimes the bullet will stick in the barrel. When you close the bolt and the round is forced back the casing scratches the marker off of the bullet. You can use a cleaning rod to push the bullet out of the barrel and then seat the bullet back in the casing, with a die, using the scratched off marker as your reference. Then you just go on to step 6. [/QUOTE]
