How close is too close? What seating depth usually produces the best accuracy in your loads? In the Hornady handbook it indicates that just kissing the rifling usually produces the best accuracy but too close and you get a huge pressure spike. Your opinions and tips are appreciated. | ||

I seat my bullets just off the rifling I would think that if you worked up your loads with the bullets just kissing the rifling you can get a safe load start low. | |||

it depends on what you are going to do with the rifle. Benchrest... sure, jam it right up, and build your loads around it hunting? best to start at .02 off and go BACK looking for accuracy. If you shoot barnes X, start at .065. The ONLY rifle I have that I load with next to zero clearence is my 222 rem br rifle. jeffe | |||
