Dummy OAL method for finding the lands...
There are a couple of free methods to do it, in the above link.

Congratulations on starting a new hobby to feed another one. But it really isn't reccomended to start chasing the lands until a few years of experience have passed under your belt. A lot of people have damaged and even blown up good rifles and themselves by doing things that they didn't FULLY understand.
If I might make a suggestion, get yourself a copy of Lyman's Centerfire Handloading manual and stick to the OAL listed in the book. Shoot your rifle a lot and enjoy it. Notice every change in your handloading and note it in a book of some kind. I use a lot of "composition notebooks" from the school supply isle. You can later sort and catalog it the way you want to.
If you are shooting a factory tube and chamber, the odds are you MAY not even be able to get to the lands.
But you are the owner and it's your rifle. You spent the money for everything. It's you that has to be satisfied with everything.
Sorry for the rant.

while leaving the cartrige short enough to sit in the magazine or clip. You can, however, make them long enough to be close to the lands and single load them.
