[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 746587, member: 48043"] Hello from another North Dakotan. You picked a poor time to begin reloading as far as getting components. Mike has very valid points on measuring YOUR rifle for dimensions but I'll add this; bullet nose shapes will change between brands (you said you were using Nos. bullets but had a speer manual) so you are looking at your rifling origin and can't use their depth other than as a rough point of reference. On a 22 cal you often can't get the bullet as close to the lands as you want as you should really have a caliber(as much contacting the neck as your bullet is wide) or so of bullet in the neck to square it up.
