Most of the time the case on the end of the tool has a neck bigger than what is in the chamber and it will not seat all the way to the shoulder, giving you a false reading. What you think is alot of freebore is actually the length of the neck plus freebore.
Give this man a ceegar. I checked the mod case and the neck was .014 bigger than regular brass. I sanded it down to match and works like a charm. Many thanks for this tip. This old dawg just learned a new trick. BTW, it doesn't have a long throat as 75gr Sierras will touch the lands with plenty to spare. THANKS AGAIN.
