[QUOTE="g0rd0, post: 1091655, member: 44168"] I make a dummy with each of my bullet styles. How I do this is resize a brass then lube the inside of the neck and (WITHOUT POWDER OR A PRIMER), place the bullet of choice in the neck just enough to hold it in place and chamber it. As the bolt closes the bullet will seat as the ogive contacts the rifling. (This dummy is my max oal for that bullet style in that rifle only). Now to start I subtract 30thou to start from there I experiment with different oal's getting closer to the moal. For example I have a savage mod.11 in 7rm, 150 grn ETIPS like 15tho from the lands. But, 150 grn sp's like 25 thou off and 175 grn sp's work best on the lands. I also have an old Huskavanna 6.5X55 that only likes 160 grn rn 10 thou off the lands and that is the only diet that it will tolerate. [/QUOTE]
