[QUOTE="dig, post: 606999, member: 26939"] As for seating depth you need to play with it to determine best accuracy. In my experience you do not need to always touch the lands or be very close for best accuracy. In addition, you generally give up a little velocity seated against the lands. And this all depends on bullet brand/type, VLD's like to be a bit closer while any flat base is not that sensitive. If this is a hunting rifle I would not seat against the lands, last thing you want is a stuck bullet in the Field and probably want to use the magazine as opposed to a single shot. Winchesters have been inconsistent, in a brand new purchase 270 WSM my hunting partner is touching the lands with 130 grn HSM factory ammo, when its extremely cold has pulled bullets, NOT GOOD. In a 375 H&H Winchester I purchased its WAY off the lands (dif caliber of course). [/QUOTE]
