[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 968771, member: 5219"] I reread your post and have another suggestion. You said you can't do any bullet seating yet. No dies? When you get to seating actual bullets in empty cases, try this: Polish the bullet jacket with fine steel wool and carefully place the dummy round into the chamber with as little contact as possible. Close bolt and then extract round. If the bullet contacts the lands you will be able to see tiny regularly spaced rectangular marks in the jacket. You can adjust your seater die from there. I have the Hornady Lock-N-Load Overall Length Gage Bolt Action and even made my own cartridges once I special ordered the tap. BUT I very rarely use it. I prefer the steel wool method. [/QUOTE]
