I take the particular bullet, and a fired case, and pinch the case mouth to where it will somewhat firmly hold the bullet.

Stick the bullet in the case mouth at a obviously long COL, and chamber this "dummy round". Then extract it, and measure. Do this several times and you will get a basic "to the lands" measurement for this specific bullet.

This measurement will be correct for only that bullet, and must be done for other bullets with different ogives. jd
