Thanks.

if you want to know the exact COL then you need a stoney point gauge, bullet comparator, modified case, and a dial caliper. you take the modified case and chuck it into the gauge, then push the bullet into the rifling and lock the tool. Then with the caliper and bullet comparator you measure exactly how long the bullet it. This way oyu know how long of freebore you have and can seat your bullets accordingly.
