Trouble with determining base to OGIVE measurement in 28 nosler. Using Hornady OAL Gauge. PLEASE HELP.

[Kylerjay05]

Hello. I would be greatly indebted to anyone that can shed some light on my dilemma. I am trying to determine where my bullet hits the lands in my rifle to work up some new monolithic loads. When I use the gauge, I repeatedly retrieve the modified case and find that my rifle is allowing VERY long loads. If someone with an abundance of experience can help me, please send a DM. I'd really appreciate the chance to talk it through. Thank you!

The bullet is probably being pulled back out by the rifling, are you pushing it back onto the pin before measuring.
