[QUOTE="timberelk, post: 1401109, member: 100952"] The bullet I’m using is a 140 Nosler BT 7mm (for a 7mm08). I believe it has a fairly long shank vs a bullet like a VLD. I believe I found my lands by barely inserting a bullet into a once fired case (did it with 5 different once fired in my chamber cases) and then chambering the round and then measured the ogives of the bullets. I came out with a ogive measurement within .001-.002 each time I didn’t this test. My overall cartridge length was between 3.002- 3.004 so by minusing .025” for a jump it get me right to the OAL that Nosler recommends (2.800”) so I’ll be moving forward with the measurement. More info: I measured 20 different Nosler 140 grain BT from base to tip and they only deviated by .001-.002. Good job Nosler!! Most were within .001 of each other [/QUOTE]
