[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 390363, member: 13632"] [B]C[/B]ombined [B]O[/B]ver [B]A[/B]ll [B]L[/B]ength, it would require you to have a set of calipers to measure from the base of the loaded cartridge to the tip of the bullet. Better yet is to have a Hornady bullet comparator tool so you measure from cartridge base to bullet ogive which will give you a good measurement of how far of the lands you are. In a box of HSM ammo I found that there were a few loaded a few thousandths shorter and since they are VLD bullets they can get a little picky about seating depth. [/QUOTE]
