Thanks spud..

How do I measure the length of my chamber.

You need the Hornady ogive comparator. The one Spud has put up measures head space and is a very worth while addition, actually I would say its a must, but you need the ogive comparator for seating depths.

 

This is what you need to find out your maximum ogive

Dwight,

 

When you ask for a way of measuring your chamber, I presume you mean the overall maximum loaded cartridge length so that you can set the bullet a known distance off the lands?.

For some info on how to measure your overall maximum cartridge length, go to:

You can also use the Sinclair Comparator, which is excellent.

 

To measure the actual chamber, ie, from the base to the mouth of the case, try:

He has instructions on that very topic.
