[QUOTE="manitou, post: 1614272, member: 105280"] You can load up a deep seated dummy round (about Saami specs) with no powder or primer, seat a bullet in the case (no crimp), mark it with a sharpee and then try it in the chamber. Each try, seat it less deep and try again until you see land marks in the sharpee on the bullet, then back off 20-30 thou and see if it fits in your magazine. It is redneck, but a lot of folks use this method. Not precise enough to be load 5 thou off your lands, but I used it to do .020 for several years before buying the tools for the job... and came up with some pretty darned accurate loads. [/QUOTE]
