Hi DAA, The tool that i spoke of is a 1'bolt that has holes cut in each side of the bolt. each hole is a different caliber. i slide the bolt down onto the bullet and it stops where the ogive starts on the bullet. i then measure the cartridge with the bolt on the bullet part of the cartridge with my dial calipers and then subtract 1' from the measurement. this gives me the length of the cartridge from the rim to the ogive. once i get the bullet seated to where it is just off the lands i then have the rim to ogive lenght for that rifle. i seat all bullet ogives to this length. the bolt just touches the ogive of the bullet and not the tip so all bullets end up with the same ogive length. i hope i explained it well enough for everyone to understand. i got this bolt tool from a friend.
