BTW it is from Philip at Verger Bullets, responded within minutes...KUDOS again There are many different ways around the load development round. In regards to bullet design. I have found with TANGENT OGIVE bullets . That starting with the bullet on the lands. Then working back into the cartridge case in .005 increments works. For HYBRID OGIVE bullets : We suggest you start your bullet seating depth testing at .015" OFF THE LANDS and then WORK BACK INTO THE CASE in .005" increments.
