I've tried to get fancy with measuring equipment, but have found that the reloading process outlined by bsa1917hunter works well for me. I do measure the chamber length and base my initial bullet seating depth on this number but, I still use the ease of chambering method as the main guide in the reloading process. Nothing is more frustrating than having a reload that is hard to chamber in the field. This may not work as well for reloading for benchrest competition but it has worked for me for developing hunting loads.
