[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 306879, member: 9215"] Seating at or into the lands, or even close, is a BR techique. But their rifles and their cases and their bullets are different from ours, so are the techniques needed. Attempts to use BR methods for our stuff is a mistake. The BR concept of seating close has been repeated so often it has taken on a "conventional wisdom" life of its own but is badly misapplied for the rest of us. It's primary purpose was/is to ****** bullet movement and improve ignition/burn with softly held bullets, but common "logic" got around to saying it helped center bullets into the bore. There is no data I'm aware of to support that to be true in our loosely chambered store bought rifles. So, I wish we could drive a stake in that idea's heart and get rid of it completly, 'cause it's NOT true for factory rifles - or very rarely so - and it's not needed with our high bullet seating tension!
