[QUOTE="woods, post: 369388, member: 6042"] Like Moman and cedarswamp have said, it would be unusual for you to be able to load close to the lands and still fit the magazine. Especially with a 300RUM and a Remington rifle. Those are all made with a lot of jump. Best thing for you to do is seat as long as your magazine will allow and forget about seating close to the lands. Find a load at an OAL that is .025" to .050" shorter than your mag and work on your seating depth consistancy, bullet grip and velocity to get the most accuracy. A competition seater from Redding or Forster will definitely help but they are not cheap. A good seating die will help with seating depth consistancy and will not introduce additional runout. Won't cure any runout you have, but won't add any. [/QUOTE]
