[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 2284202, member: 5219"] My 284 Win shoots the 168 VLD approximately .010" into lands. Never had an issue with bullet removed from case. With that small amount of engagement the bullet will not be stuck in the chamber unless there is insufficient neck tension. .002-.003" will hold the bullet in place. Had a 7 Rem mag that used .030" engagement with .003" neck tension with unturned necks that didn't have an issue either. Thinking that amount might not be the best for hunting, but it worked in my rifle. As for figuring out where you are with the bullet and lands... I polish the seated bullet with fine steel wool. Carefully chamber cartridge by dropping it into chamber with barrel pointed towards floor or with a CRF place cartridge in the bolt face. Close bolt and carefully extract. If the bullet is engaging the lands you will see evenly spaced marks on the ogive area. Once you have the reference it is easy to use a competition die to move in or out to suit your needs. [/QUOTE]
