Yes, a chronograph. You do not know that your loads are anemic until you measure actual velocity.
This^^^^^^. Having 3 rifles with minimum spec match chambers all 3 have exceeded book velocities for the stated charge, but the only way to know that is to chronograph the loads.

Similarly, I have 6x55 Swede that's a nail driver. I assembled some ladder loads with my first accuracy experiments, and beginning at the low end made it less that 1/2 way through the set when pressure signs appeared. Still need to chronograph it, but I suspect it's running tight.

I fully intend on getting to my chrono, but when 2 types of new brass, and factory ammo, won’t chamber, there’s obviously a bigger functional problem at work!

Once I ran the brass through my re sizing die it was fine.
Your words not mine. Just sounds tight and you don’t want to deal with the BS that goes with it. Oh well.

Use a felt pen on new factory rounds, chamber in a safe area and check for rub marks. That should show where chamber is undersize, or brass is oversize.
