[QUOTE="SQ Stalker, post: 301774, member: 18663"] I use the Hhornay OAL length gauge. It works well and is only about $20-$30. I'd try different seating depths to see what your rifle likes. I tried .010",.050",.090" and .130" off the lands with 150gr Berger VLD bullets and my stock Rem 700 .270 liked the depth of .050" off the best. Then last week I loaded some 100gr Rem Core-Lokts (very short bullet in .270 win) which could only be loaded at .217" off the lands and they shot better than the Bergers! So I guess find what depth your rifle likes with each different bullet. Hope this helps. Stalker [/QUOTE]
