Not trying to be a dick but this is Basic Reloading 101. If you are asking this type of question you should read a reloading manual from Hornady, Sierra, Speer, etc. AG

He never said he was reloading.
jray, are you reloading or looking to buy factory ammo? Are you asking about OAL to fit in the magazine, the chamber or both? Is the chamber job a custom one or a factory chamber?

Re: Need help with 6.5/284 Norma
I am reloading and I know what the books says to make them but it's a custom cutt chamber and I want to set the bullet slightly in the lands and I do not have the special tool to check the length and was wondering if I could mark a dummy bullet with a marker or something then load it in the chamber?

Re: Need help with 6.5/284 Norma
If you are wanting this level of precision invest in the Hornady tool and a dummy case. Around $45. It will give you more usable data than blackening a bullet tip. Also get the cartridge comparator so you can measure from the ogive. Another $35. This will let you monitor the throat erosion and lengthen the rounds as the throat lengthens. The Sinclair website has these tools and an explanation of their use. Competition shooters using this round commonly set a barrel back at under a thousand rounds and junk it by 14-15 hundred rounds. You have bought a hot-rod with a tall cam and it needs some tinkering to keep it running. Buy the tools. AG

Re: Need help with 6.5/284 Norma
Another way you can do it is neck sizing a once fired case just enough so it will put enough pressure on a bullet to hold it in place. Barely push the bullet into the neck and chamber the round. As you push the round into the chamber, the bullet comes in contact with the lands and pushes itself back into the neck. Close the bolt, open the bolt back up and slowly remove the round. Now you can measure the overall length and that will give you your distance to the lands. It does the same thing as the hornady tool.

You may want to do this several times to insure you measurements are correct. Sometimes the bullet will hang slightly in the rifling giving bad measurements. Check, recheck and triplecheck you measurements before loading. Good Luck.

Re: Need help with 6.5/284 Norma
Jray,
Glad to help...hope it works out for you.
Oilyowl.....WTF? The guy is asking a legit question that he did not have an answer to. There are other ways to find the same info WITHOUT spending your hard earned money on shit you can build in 20 minutes with parts laying around the shop. Why fuck with the guy? If you didnt have anything intelligent to add, why even post?

With "comprehension" skills like that,it is readily apparent how the most basic of handloading practices went well over your head.
I do find it curious however,that you wish to brag about it.

Re: Need help with 6.5/284 Norma
Hey jasonk, I'm thinking oilyowl needs a time out, sure some other wouldn't mind seeing that happen. Jray is a good kid just asking questions to do it right. Last I checked that's what this site is about. And for what ever its worth, I am a tree hugging liberal, highly educated, money hungry yuppie who drives a hybrid and drinks starbucks while browsing this site on my MAC laptop. But what can I say I like guns! I like to shoot and I like hanloading, I find it all rather relaxing. So oily lay of JRAY and go shove your head up your ass.

How many feet did that thing scale out? Seeing you are a cutter explains a lot I've heard about you. I grew up in Southern Oregon and know a lot of cutters. You guys live in a pretty cut and dried world (pun intended)
