Novice reloader. Learning as I go. Have watched most the videos and seem to take it that a gentle tap until the bullet just kisses the lands is the right ammount of pressure, problem is, my measurements using the hornady OAL and the bullet comparator for CBTO when touching varies almost .005...
I may take it up to mile high and have the pros show me how it's done, but would like to learn myself as well.
Using the hornady modified 300wm case and berger 215s. Trying to jump these initially .020, but seeing a .005 variance in my measurements makes it hard to get a reference point. Worried about touching the lands as this is a hunting rifle.
Any tips, tricks, suggestions on the firmness of the pressure required when using the OAL gauge? So far I'd call it a very gentle tap till it first makes contact.
