I use a stoney point a.k.a. hornady OAL this is my method.
Tap the rod until the bullet does not come out with the case. Tilt the rifle up and give it a good slap on the underside of the stock, if the bullet drops then you have the lands.
If you have to tap it out with a rod, you are jammed.
If it falls out on its own you arent quite there.
