[QUOTE="Johnboy, post: 377418, member: 20409"] or you can just neck size a fired case from that one rifel.then seat a bullet of choice long.then chamber it with care,and if it does not chamber.seat the bullet just a little trying it again.but keep doing this till you get to the point to where it almost fully chambers with the bolt not locked yet.now at this point you can close the bolt the rest of the way and remove with care.now measure it.and keep it for resetting the die for future use of the same bullet.after all said and done you can then play with the setting depth to see if it will improve the load.and if it does reset the dummy to that spec and keep for a future use. this is what I do and it works for me.might be a little more work but works.been doing it this way for 15 years.and I do not on a guage.but alot of dummy bullets for about 5 rifels. or you can do the cleaning rod test. first run the rod in on a closed bolt from the muzzel end.now with the rod in place put a pice of tape right at the muzzel.make sure it is touching the end of the bolt. now remove the bolt and with a dowl rod or pencil hold the bullet of choice in the chamber in the lands.then run the rod back in to just touch the tip of the bullet.now put another pice of tape at the muzzel. now you can measure distance between the tape at the points where the tape was at the end of the muzzel.and this should give you a C.O.A.L. with that bullet. both work but the fired case woks better and you get a dummy this way.
