No the barrel and bolt stay on the action but the ejector is removed from the bolt.

Who wants to disassemble their bolt everytime they work up a load?

The so called experts
I'll just keep using my Hornady oal gauge.
One factor is to make sure you modified case is fireformed.

The hornady tool has a weird thread so making your own case might involve taking it somewhere. It will need to have the neck slightly expanded if it's been resized

I guess you will have to school me I've been doing this same thing for years with a 3/16 brass rod with drill bit collets when you put each collet against the end of the barrel I have always had to deduct the width of one collet to get the right measurement I must be missing something sometime the easy things slide by me to looks like you would have to add the width of a collet.

Okay what I was doing different was I am putting one collet on getting bolt face measurement then putting other collet on getting bullet measurement then I deduct the first collet from my outside measurement that was the way I was showed years ago and I never expanded on it guess there more than one way to skin a squirrel thanks for the schooling.

Can I ask what kind of rod one needs to use and you don't have to strip the bolt? This seems like the best way to measure unless you want to do the stripped bolt and loaded round method. Thanks for sharing.

My setup was made by R-P Products, but they don't exist anymore. I also have similar from Sinclair that is no longer offered..
There is this plastic kit: https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1012713931?pid=190644
But nothing of our endeavor should be made of plastic.
Easy enough to make tight fitting metal collars for a metal cleaning rod. Or drill bit stops
You don't have to do anything with the bolt but put it in & close it.

For a 3/16" rod, here's a drill bit collar at Amazon (need 2): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007NL1WGA/?tag=lrhmag19-20
Can one use 1/8 rod?
