[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 2124012, member: 69478"] I have used that method in the past and I don’t recommend it. It will give you inconsistent results. I use the Wheeler method and the only method I recommend. You simply remove the firing pin assembly and if your action has a plunger ejector remove that too. Then take a sized piece of brass and seat a bullet in it that’s loaded very long. Then try to chamber the round. You want the round to close with the bolt dropping effortlessly on it without resistance. You just seat the bullet deeper and deeper until the bolt closes without resistance. Record that number and that’s your length the lands. From there you check to see if it fits in your magazine or not. [/QUOTE]
