[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 301758, member: 9215"] "I hear by seating bullets further out or different distances off the lands you can increas accuracy." Seating close to, or into, the lands is a BR technique to compensate for a lack of bullet grip in their cases. Done correctly it can, under the right conditions, help start pressure to reach better burn levels and may be better for accuracy. Others, trying to duplicate what they don't understand, think it's a way to "better align the bullet to the bore" and assume it's a method virtually assuring better accuracy. It isn't so, not for all BR shooters and certainly not for those of us who use factory rifles. Most factory rifles get best accuracy seating from .025" to as much as .125", or more, off the lands. And precious few factory rifles have short enough throats to permit land contact anyway. ONLY experimentation will tell you how deep to seat your bullets, it does indeed make a difference. [/QUOTE]
