[QUOTE="jrock, post: 1407944, member: 78569"] I would seat out as long as you could and leave 0.02" of space between the mag and the bullet tip. Also, I believe there are ways to get a more defined distance to land. A search on this site should yield some good methods that you only have to do once. Not 3 or 7 times. I like the Nosler book because it shows the most accurate value but take it with a grain of salt. Every barrel is different. I have bullets seated 0.10" off the lands that shoot 1/2". Depends on the bullet. Starting 0.02" from the lands is where I start if I can reach the lands. If not, then I start with the book COAL and work form there with powder charges. [/QUOTE]
