[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 69865, member: 704"] I use a bullet comparator. Before I had that I would use the sizing die to size the neck just enough to hold a bullet, but let it slide with slight pressure. When you chamber a round that has a bullet held firmly it will force the bullet into the lands. A bullet that can slide will touch the lands then push back into the case giving you an acceptable measurement. Start off with bullets seated back .010 less than your measurement. Also if you don't have a headspace gauge smoke the shoulder of your case to indicate when your sizing die contacts the shoulder. By setting back .001 instead of .005 you can double your case life. Forgot this trick: In the past I would full length size my brass then split the neck with a hacksaw. It creates perfect tension for your bullet to check seating depth. [/QUOTE]
