[QUOTE="Schnyd112, post: 1468218, member: 90453"] This is how I was taught. Was having some odd things happening with my new rifle so I bought the Hornady tool. I can say that my numbers using the guess and check smoke method were right on with my measurements with the Hornady tool. Takes some practice to recognize what you are seeing but **** if it doesn’t work just as well. Cohunt- I feel I get better measurements measuring the “o-give” with that nut. With a Forster seating die I can get pretty consistent depths, .002-003” difference from longest to shortest most times. Neck tension and brass prep have been big in keeping the difference low.
