[QUOTE="newmexkid, post: 1207865, member: 33152"] If you have a REM 700 why don't you remove the firing pin and ejector? This method will give you a 100% more precise reading then the Hornady tool. Very, very easy to do and everything goes back just one way so no mix ups. No special tools needed. Just a coin and a small punch. Check the first part of this video, Changing a Remington 700 firing pin spring - YouTube [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEn0yaNhGzw[/url] I thought no way I can do this but, I tried it and it's so easy. My 13 year old grandson wanted to try it and honestly...He did it faster then I did!! Of course you still have to remove the ejector. Just punch out the small pin at the head of the bolt. Place your thumb on the ejector itself as you punch the pin out. Keeps the ejector for flying out. Easy to replace and it only goes in one way. I had always used the Hornady tool until I started using this method. Where I thought my bullets were just off the lands, (.015) I was actually .050 off!! Try this...You will probably never use the Hornady tool again!! Hope the link works, not very good at this computer stuff. Check this out.
