Second the Stoney Point gauge. It is much easier to "feel" the bullet contact the lands with this setup. About .010" off the lands will usually give the best results. If the bullet is touching the lands when the round is fired, it doesn't get to jump to the lands and you will get a large pressure spike that could rupture the case and damge the rifle or you.
