[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1587224, member: 10291"] You should OK, but it’s quite possible you can find a solid performance node seating .050-.100” off the lands. I have found this to be the case with several of the 6.5 Berger designs, including the VLD’s. I’m going on 8 years of consistent performance with +1000 shots in my 6.5x284 using .075” OL with 140 VLD’s. At the time of initial testing this was my optimum seating depth, and still is, with no throat erosion so far. Hunting cartridges tend to get a lot of handling and cycling making them more prone to getting knocked out of alignment if there is too little contact area in the neck. IMO. [/QUOTE]
