[QUOTE="Gene, post: 928834, member: 7402"] No, 0000 steel wool will not remove enough copper to matter. Use a comparator of some sort to approximate the distance to lands. Always do this without primer or powder in the case. If you can remove the firing pin, you will get a better feel when bullet hits the leade. With some factory rifles, seeing the land marks is difficult. Many will not show consistent contact marks by each land. Always start seater about .015" above the touch marks. Do not lubricate inside case neck. Work down .005" at a time until marks disappear, then pull bullet slightly up and re-set seater higher by several thous until you can see contact. I use a 6x jewelers loupe to do this. [/QUOTE]
