How do you guys work up a COL, to get your bullet kissing the lands.... Thanks
Take the specific bullet you'll be using, and seat it "long" in an unprimed case. Isert the bulle/case into the chamber and close the bolt. The lands will engage the bullet ogive, pushing it deeper into the case. Open the bolt, remove the unprimed case, and measure the OAL. The OAL will be for that bullet only, as ogives vary with different bullets. I record all of the different OAL's for bullets I'll be shooting in a specific rifle.
