mr awesome:

The way you explained is how I found out that my bullets are too long! I had read a while ago that people smoke a bullet of use a marker just to see if it is hitting the lands. That is all I was doing. Pretty much wasting my time because I already knew it hit the lands and pushed it back to the 2.225" from 2.255". which would have been the same thing as using your method!

I used your way to find out that my oal is 2.225". I backed off .025" from there. The load I have worked up is all set at 2.200"

thank you mrawesome and bullet for you help. Sorry I made such a big deal out of this little thing.

I am going to tomarrow to try these out I will let you know how everything turned out.

thanks
kyle
