[QUOTE="Eagle Eye, post: 2828043, member: 34489"] I had some time today and measured bullet seating depth on my M1 Garand and Rem700 I used precision mic's reading for the 700 was .200, and .203 for the M1. For each, I seated a bullet in an unprimed uncharged case that had been trimmed to recommended length. I seated bullet to -.001 max COAL then used the bullet seating tool to see where i was. (btw no cycling issues encountered) 700 I was at .164 M1 I was at .124 In my head this is as close as I can get to the readings obtained by the tool. Is this right? I haven't tried different bullet shapes yet, but i suspect that will affect things. thanks for reading oh and are there any pitfalls I am getting ready to step into? :scratch: [/QUOTE]
