[QUOTE="duke75, post: 752398, member: 61011"] Bullets of the same caliber are different, as is the gun itself. The olgave of the bullet is the largest part. I always allow the bullet to seat where the olgave is resting in the lettie which is just before the rifling. The bullet is now positioned where it does not jump from the casing into the rifling, you will see a great difference in accuracy. I use a dummy round which I put a slight crimp just enough to hold the bullet secure. I then chamber the round very slowly pushing the bullet into the casing util the the olgave makes contact with the rifling. I slowly eject the dummy round and mark it, you now have a round that is ideally seated. The next thing you do is seat the bullet so very slightly further back into the casing Don't forget the first mark you made, this is your reference point. Give this a try you notice your accuracy has improved, [/QUOTE]
