[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 3078434, member: 116439"] ^^^^^^ There are dozens of Threads and hundreds of Posts on how to get COAL (Case Over All Length) and CBTO (Cartridge Base To Ogive) the Hornady LnL OAL Modified Case Gauge Tool. There are opinions from everyone on how to do it. I am not going to say which method is better than the other of if you should even check for COAL CBTO. That is up to the induvial reloader. I will state that if you are going to use the Hornady LnL OAL Modified Case Guage you first need to purchase The Lock-N-Load® O.A.L. Gauge, then Lock-N-Load® Bullet Comparators, A Caliper to measure and a Lock-N-Load® Modified Cases for the Cartridge of your rifles. You can make your own Modified Case for your specific rifle by Drilling out the primer pocket and then tapping it. Hornady made an odd size Thread on their Tool so that Tap is not included in most Tap Sets. You can purchase the Drill Bit and Tap. The Drill is "L" size and Tap 5/16 36 tpi. If you are going to do a DYI I suggest that you have a Drill Press and a jig to put the case in, in the vise. Better yet if you have a Mill or Lathe so that you drill straight and Tap straight. We have Drilled & Tapped Modified Cases for Hundreds of LRH members along with several hundred cases for other Reloaders. We have never charged $$s for labor or machine work. We only asked for a small fee to cover shipping and over the years have lost $$$ when we even shipped free. We just ask to "Pay it Forward" and possibly help out a fellow Reloaded/Hunter/Shooter. Whatever way you get to CBTO please do it so that your measurements are correct and safe. If you need some assistance, feel free to PM us and we will try to help you out within our knowledge base.
