[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 799448, member: 12995"] Looking back, I was playing with powders just to get the hang of reloading, so I was picking mid-range loads and going from there with my COAL. Of course, my STW and the 180's are up against the lands, my .308 with the 210 VLD's are crush-fit, too. Seems the Remmy 700's like them as close to the rifling as you can get. My A-Bolt is not quite as picky, and my Accumark .257 Weatherby has too much freebore for it to touch the lands, so I just press the 7Mag Browning and the .257 Wby ammo to fit about 0.005" inside the magazine length, since they are mainly my hunting rifles. Not every rifle will be the same, but this is what works for mine. Also, every Remington 700 I reload VLD's for, including my buddy's .300 WinMag, likes them pressed up on the lands. [/QUOTE]
