[QUOTE="Stob, post: 1089566, member: 90707"] It is made from a drop off of the barrel, and the reamer is run into it up to the shoulder. The tool will give you a couple things. First, it is a good way to measure how much the shoulder of the case is being bumped back during resizing. You usually don't need to bump a shoulder back more than a thousands or two, assuming the sizing die matches the chamber fairly well. Then it can give you a measurement where the bullets contact the lands. The easy way to tell is seat a bullet, insert it and twist the case.If the bullet is contacting the lands it will be obvious with marks on the bullet, or keep seating them out further until you see the marks. If you are feeding from a magazine, you may be limited in ow far out you can seat a bullet and still work in the mag. This will only work until the throat wears from firing, then you would have to adjust seating depth accordingly. It;s mostly used for shoulder setback. [/QUOTE]
