[QUOTE="baldhunter, post: 2745598, member: 11853"] No you are no understanding it right.What I do is make the dummy that is the max length with a particular bullet for my rifle.I save that dummy round so when I set my die up,I'll set the seater up to my dummy round.Then when I seat my first round of a load,it will be set at the max length.Then say I want the rounds to be seated at .030 off the lands,I'll adjust the seater until down until I get to that measurement.I never ever seat a loaded round into the lands.That is a good way to get into trouble.Different powder,bullet lots and primers can lead to pressure spikes.There is also the chance of the bullet being stuck into the lands if you try to eject a live round.I'd like to also add,I use a Hornady comparator gauge to measure which is way more accurate than base to tip.
