[QUOTE="Tyson C., post: 1398230, member: 9534"] my UNEXPERIENCE guess would be to use a guage of this sort... [url]http://www.neconos.com/category/Concentricity-Wall-Thickness-&-Run-out-Gauge-10[/url] and digital calipers. Now if i have been reading right (because i have never physically done this...ever)??? that once you load the bullet into the gun and shoot you will have the measurements you need from that fired casing round, to help "match" the next rounds to the chamber of that gun, so that the bullets are consistant threwout your batch to match the gun.?. using the guage above will help you figure out 1.Banana curvature of case. 2.Wall and neck thickness variations. 3.Case head squareness. 4.Banana curvature and out-of-round shape of individual bullets. 5.Runout of seated bullet. 6.Total runout of loaded cartridge per case. i know i have read some where about figureing out how deep to get the projectile deeper into the throat...may be someone will ahve that answer. also upon my readings i see where some of the competition guys measure out readings of there caseings before/after there reloading process and put there bullets in groups that are extremely similiar or same on the readings. i see using a caliper guage to measure over all length of the bullet to help with loading of the projectile, so that case length becomes somewhat repetitive/accurate. now i will assume that you will have to maybe work with brass fired from "your rifle" in order for this entire process to work. doing rounds for other guns i think would call for maybe getting brass fired from that gun and working from there. my "goal" is to get into the whole competition thing and start learning...so unless your reloading just to shoot half ass accurate rounds then i am sure there may be lesser steps. sitting around the camp fire and listening to .50 cal competitors and the things i have read, the tips and tricks and knowledge that go into this are a never ending rabbit hole :). BUT i like the the things that go on behind the curtain when it comes to long range shooting. just never have really taken the time to get into it till now. hope i may of helped.... if not then don't bag me to hard, like the title says= .50 cal newbie :rotflmao: [/QUOTE]
