I measure the OAL of both bullets and adjust cartridge OAL of the new to match the case mouth to bullet base measurement/calculation of the old. Also, to someone else'a point, I make up a dummy round to check seating in the chamber before loading hundreds of rounds. Wasn't smart enough to do that twice (slow learner).
