[QUOTE="woods, post: 346647, member: 6042"] I have tried most methods of finding the distance to the lands (DTL) and have settled on a simple tool called the COL E-Z Check from R-P Products 318-424-7867 [email]r_reeves61@bellsouth.net[/email] It is a stainless rod with 2 locking collets and a removable brass tip shown here with the Hornady OAL tool [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/RELOADING/reevestool002.jpg[/IMG] You insert the rod down to the bolt face (make sure it is cocked to retract the firing pin) and lock the outside collet [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/RELOADING/DSCN0760.jpg[/IMG] take the bolt out and insert a bullet to the lands either with the Hornady tool or hold it with a dowel [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/RELOADING/DSCN0763.jpg[/IMG] insert the rod down to the bullet tip and lock the inside collet [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/RELOADING/DSCN0762.jpg[/IMG] measure between the collets [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/RELOADING/DSCN0764.jpg[/IMG] the only variable is how far you are pushing the bullet into the lands when inserting and holding it there. Best $25.00 I ever spent on reloading equipment (price may have gone up since I have had it for 3 or 4 years) [/QUOTE]
