I am very new to reloading. I came into a Dillon 650, a fair amount of powder, some Sierra match .223 and about 4000 brass for the .223 and a 38-55. The dies all came too. I understand the sizing, and the die seems to do this, but what about the length. For those of you reloading this round, how do you see that your cases are the right length before reloading them? I keep seeing references to this, but has not seen directions on how to do it. I am sorry for the basic question, but I really appreciate any help.
