Hi Everyone,
I am relatively new to Reloading but have had a good success so far. When researching ways to correctly measure seating depth for my specific rifle I have found items such as the Sinclair Bullet Depth Tool with a comparator, but it says it will only work with bolt action rifles, Thompson Contenders, and some AR15 type rifles. Hornady makes another type of tool called an OAL Lock and Load that works with semi-autos but seems to be less accurate. There are other methods I have read about like the smoked bullet, and another method involving inserting bullet against throat then measuring with a dowel then measuring again with closed bolt, determining difference, etc. My question is what would be the absolute best and most accurate way to accomplish this in my SCAR? and any rifle for that matter? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
