Seating the bullet back 0.2 into the case probably won't cost more than 50fps. But that is just a guess on my part based on some data posted recently on that subject. But 50 fps adds 50yds or so to the range of your rig, at least energy wise, not wind drift. If I'm going to build a rig it will allow seating the bullet all the way out with only the boattail into the case. I can live with a single shot if need be. Doesn't sound like either of your choices will allow seating the bullet out where I'd want it. At least not with the bullets I have.

I'm more concerned about getting the throat set up right so the bullet will be the right distance from the lands.
