quote:For a starter I would try them at the cannelure and see what the results are with a few different powders/charges and if they are ok then don't worry about the oal....if the groups aren't up to spec then try loading to max mag length and inbetween and see if that improves the grouping....some guns don't mind a jump for the rifling and for hunting rounds..reliability is better than the last .1 grouping.....good luck and good shooting!! | |||

Just seat them deep. I have a 110 in 223 that aggs. to .7" (for five) with the bullets seated in a different zip code than the lands....... (over .25"). Chances are, you will be very surprised at how accurate (and consistent) that load will be. HTH, Dutch. | |||

I always start with a seating depth that permits the bullet to come within about 1/16" of an inch of the rifling origin, IF A LOAD THAT LONG WILL WORK THROUGH THE MAGAZINE. If it won't, my first-try seating depth is for a cartridge legth that gives reliable feeding, but no deeper!! As a rule, the less a bullet has to jump to enter the rifling, the better, BUT THERE ARE SOME SIGNIFICANT EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE!! The only way you'll know for sure what your rifle likes is by doing a lot of test shooting. Seating depth is the LAST VARIABLE I change when looking for accurate loads. Powder weight is No.1, powder type is No.2, primer make is No.3, then seating depth. I often find a very accurate load before getting past No.1 or No.2!! | ||
