Take a brass case and loosen the tension enough that you can barely slide the bullet in and out by hand. Set the bullet in to about a 2.95 COAL. Then slowly load the bullet, very carefully pushing the bolt until you can lock it. Then extract the dead round and measure the oal. This is your 'to the lands' length. Honestly, 2.65" is way short. My fcp-k is good to about 2.84" with the 168smk.
