[HOLLiS]

On reloading, I will lightly seat a bullet, place it in the action, and close the action. If it will not close, I will seat it just a bit more, and repeat the process.

What I am doing is developing a dummy cartridge for bullet seating to account for ZERO free bore.

Once I have it a very slight resistence on closing the action w/o a case, I have what I need. One can buy stuff that will do the same, but why?

I keep the dummy cartridges to use as a gauge when I am setting the bullet seater die.

edited to add....... If you are using a box magazine, it may not allow for a cartridge with the bullet set for Zero free bore.. the magazine sets the lenght. A way around that is to single feed the round. Some actions will require the case to be stripped from the mag well, that could create a problem.
