[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2249726, member: 10755"] Please try this, take a dud case, put two slits in the neck opposite each other for the entire neck length with a .040” (1mm) Dremel cutoff wheel. Clean all the burrs off, size it, place a bullet in it and carefully chamber it, open and close the bolt a couple of times then carefully remove it but don’t let the bullet drag anywhere on the action as you withdraw the bolt. Measure that and compare. I had trouble with my Hornady and found this method is repeatable every time if you get a feel for it. Now this measurement will most likely be .003”-.005” into the rifling, no way around that. Keep that case to find the lands with all subsequent bullets you use, it’s fast, accurate and easy. Cheers.
