[QUOTE="Corey Schwanz, post: 1091549, member: 85383"] Get yourself a tool like the Hornady OAL gauge or the Sinclair Seating Depth Tool. These will help you establish how far out your rifling actually is. Once you know where the rifling is at, you can start setting up test loads at various distances off the lands. You will likely have to make a choice as to whether you want the bullet out really close or if you want to utilize the magazine capability in the rifle. For MOST factory guns, when the bullet is out long enough to touch the lands or close to, they are usually too long to fit the magazine. [/QUOTE]
