I recieved a box of TTSX bullets, and for years i have said "read the instructions" on seating these types of bullets.

There was no instructions offered - i even pulled the labels off to verify ..

So, guys, I apologise if i have offended you by telling you to read the instructions

some things you just gotta figure out for yourself.
I could have saved myself a lot of grief if i had read the instructions but I got married anyway.

My kids came without any instructions.
I never did figure it out.

Calling them isn't much more help, for some reason I believe they want you to shoot a bunch of bullets doing load development.

If the instructions don't have pictures they are worthless anyway.

So .. here's what you do..
-.065 off the lands!

the pointed part goes out

What pointed part

I suspect they know that seating recommendations will always have exceptions to anything that's generally true. Can you imagine the heat they would take from those who "followed instrucitons" and then found their rifle was one of the exceptions?

But I can tell you all that if you seat Barnes bullets exactly .0523" off the lands they will go into one hole. For some rifles! If the ducks are flying west.

You are supposed to buy their latest loading manual
