ok, yeah, do some fiddling and "find" the oal where it hits the lands, then measure and back down a few 0.001's to get some seating.
From the BC's of the classic hunter and vld's (and I could be off here), but I didn't see a lot of BC difference, which tells me their shape is more alike than different... and my 95 berger classics touch lands at 2.205-ish. So I seat them anywhere 2.160-2.180 (still working on the best oal).
Now the Sierra 95 TMK's seat out to 2.318 so I have lots of room to seat them out to 2.260-2.280.
There's a hornady lock-n-load length gauge (need to buy the various modified cases too), that's what I use. Everything was on Amazon (for lots of calibers btw) except for the 6 Arc modified case... I found that at Copper Creek, or may need to google it.
