[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1400562, member: 10755"] The easiest method for determining where the lands are has already been mentioned. Making 2 opposite slits in the neck about 1/16” wide is all that’s required. The other method is to use your cleaning rod with a flat jag, close the bolt, let the cleaning rod rest against the bolt face with pressure so the lugs are touching the action, mark the rod at the muzzle. Then place THE bullet you are using in the chamber and hold it there with a pen or similar, slide the rod back in and mark it at the muzzle again. The distance between the 2 marks is the COAL to the rifling. An easy method to find the sweet spot is to use a mild load and seat bullets @ 3 rounds per every .020” increment. Start @ .020” then .040” then .060” and finally .080”. One will be tighter than the rest, then you can fine tune it by going .005” deeper/longer until it shoots bugholes. Cheers. :) [/QUOTE]
