[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1205529, member: 74902"] I have and have used the Hornady CBTO/COAL tools. Now I mostly: Remove the ejector from the bolt. Create a dummy round from fired brass that has been bumped .002. Seat a bullet. Try to chamber it and keep seating the bullet .001 or .002 deeper each time until the bolt closes with NO resistance at all. I know I am at the lands now. Sometimes I pull the bullet out a little with a Grip-N-Pull or collet bullet puller and reseat in smaller increments until I get no resistance closing the bolt. This has been very repeatable for me. And when I'm done, I have a perfect dummy round for reference. This method is a bit of a hassle since I have to remove the ejector, but I think it is very accurate and well worth the effort. [/QUOTE]
