[QUOTE="eshorebwhntr, post: 491142, member: 17112"] I'd check your COAL (cartridge overall length) first. Your chamber may be cut shorter than your max magazine length. How far you seat the bullet off of (or into) the rifle lands will probably have the most effect on your accuracy (along with proper powder charge). But to answer your question, in my experience having the bullet seated only as deep as the neck wouldn't "hurt" your accuracy. My dad had a 7mm sendero that had a throat burnt out and we had to seat the bullets way past the max magazine length to get them to shoot well. When we did that it shot really well, probably 0.75 MOA or so. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
