[QUOTE="Will Gray, post: 1694982, member: 65116"] I don't have a COAL gauge so I use the stone age method. I clean the chamber and barrel, clean and full length resize a piece of brass, check the length, then I push the brass in with my finger and "gently" push it out with a brass rod. No resistance felt (could stand the rifle up, would fall out). Then I press in a bullet leaving it intentionally long and push that in the chamber with my finger and feel for resistance when I push it out with the brass rod. I repeat shorten and try shorten and try until I no longer feel resistance (the bullet is off the lands). That is the length I set for loading and go shoot a few. I make sure that I have sufficient seating depth to be sure there is a good grip on the bullet in the neck of the case. All this adds to the fun of reloading and shooting: great hobby. [/QUOTE]
