[QUOTE="918v, post: 1206345, member: 84964"] You can't use a fired case to determine oal. The neck has expanded beyond its elastic limit and cannot hold a bullet. You have to either neck size or fl size. But then the neck is too tight to allow the oal to conform to the rifling. So what to do? You cut a slit lengthwise through the neck into the shoulder. This allows the neck to hold the bullet tight enough to allow you to measure oal but still loose enough for the bullet to slide. [/QUOTE]
