[QUOTE="TheDude270, post: 1473253, member: 106188"] [LEFT][SIZE=14px][COLOR=rgb(20, 20, 20)]I've heard a million ways, you just have to do what works for you. I've used a lot of methods and so far the old school way works best for me. I take a somewhat loose necked case with no primer like you mentioned that can still grab a bullet and I set it for a bit less then what I assume is the base to ogive measurement and measure with comparator, I stick it in with my finger really tight and tip the gun barrel up and usually the bullet and case will fall out, I catch it, then I tap the round out a bit so it's about a tad longer and repeat process. I document each measurement before I stick it in and if it sticks or falls. When it starts to stick, that is loosely what the base to ogive measurement is for that particular bullet combination with your chamber. This requires practically no special tools and is fast, accurate and easy. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/LEFT] [/QUOTE]
