[QUOTE="Lovellr653, post: 2019440, member: 113949"] Decided to try for a new 30-06, North East, White Tail load using150gr Barnes TTSX. I’ve used the 180 in the past and always had plenty of bullet for full contact in the neck. With these 150gr pills off the lands the Barnes recommended 0.050” I won’t have bullet contacting the entire length of the neck. I’ve never run into this or maybe just never noticed this with other loading ventures. Question is, are these bullets seated deep enough to be reliable hunting ammunition? I am using a RCBS FL sizing die with the expander removed and then using a expander mandrel of 0.307”. I’ve done literally zero additional work with this thus far and understand it may not even like that seating depth. What say you? [/QUOTE]
