[QUOTE="esshup, post: 1469677, member: 11101"] I use the Hornady lock and load set. I purchased a tap and the correct sized drill bit from McMaster Carr to make my own modified cases. The case base to lands/grooves will change with the different bullets that are used, even in the same caliber. To me, maybe my thinking is flawed, but here's what I do. Use the lock & load tool with the bullet that I am going to be using. Get the dimension in that particular rifle. Write it down on the load data sheet. Then use the same lock & Load tool to measure the loaded cartridge minus "X" thousandths to get bullet jump. Shoot for group size and when I am satisfied I write that info down on the same load sheet. I save that bullet I measured with so I can use the same tools to chase the lands later. [/QUOTE]
