[QUOTE="misterc01, post: 1587205, member: 109160"] I have found a variety of "rules" on this, many saying the minimum is the diameter of the projectile, others saying no less than 1/2 the diameter of the projectile. In practice, it should be in far enough that the bullet is straight, that is, properly aligned with the case - not tilted or misaligned which means bearing surface - not on the boat tail, and that there is proper neck tension. Neck tension is another viable with different thoughts on what is "correct." From what I have read and put into practice - .003″ less than the loaded outside diameter with bullet in place give excellent accuracy, and is a good starting point as you "tune" your particular firearm.
