[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2554126, member: 116181"] DING DING! Modified case is to me the easiest way to get this reference point, and I like the Hornady tool set up in general. I've done it about every way any one has ever posted to try, but this is what I find quickest. To your point about it being a reference, I agree because what else is there actually gain from this measurement other than 1) a starting point for seating depth, and 2) a way to track throat erosion. IMO neither of those are truly very important - the first is just one of many ways to not make a complete WAG on your seating depth testing starting point, the is just a footnote in my barrel book that hasn't shown a significant correlation to barrel life. Everything I do after finding the CBTO length that corresponds to lands engagement is based on CBTO of loaded rounds, I might make notes how far away that was from the initial measurement my final load ends up being, but it doesn't actually mean anything. I don't even try anymore, I absolutely and completely boogered up a 223 Rem/6 Mongoose case. Paying someone to do it right is the best way for me 🤣 [/QUOTE]
