[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1677486, member: 27307"] This will of course depend on the design of the chamber and not just the advice of one shooter. Yes I know you trust him but the variables involved in chambers often makes the use of a fixed rule, useless. Test for seating depth after you achieve your accuracy through load development.:) I bought some Barnes X-Bullets from Coni Brooks the first time they exhibited at S.H.O.T. Show. During that discussion, she did state quite clearly that I should start seating these bullets at 0.050" off the lands. I think I ended up at 0.065" off the lands for a final load and OAL. I've been ignoring the E-Tips for a while now but I'll see if I can find some time for testing this year sometime.:rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
