[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1275918, member: 30902"] Unless you're shooting VLD's I haven't found it to make a whole lot of difference. Years ago I started following the advice of a fellow poster here who stated it wasn't worth worrying about so he loaded everything to mag length and then adjusted powder charges for best accuracy in his rifles. I bought one of his custom rifles when he needed to cut down the collection due to a move and followed that advice and it was spot on. I then started trying it with my other rifles and found it producing far, far better results than trying to stick to SAAMI standards. With VLD's you really need to set them close to or into the lands because of their shape which does not allow for consistent or accurate self alignment with the bore. There's a good article here in Accurate shooter that explains it pretty well.
