[QUOTE="wapiti13, post: 87876, member: 2212"] Every barrel is different. Nosler recommends staying .010 off the lands. Some bullets shoot better just touching the lands, but just off is usually safer. It is not recommended to hard seat into the lands. Back off 5-10% and make sure the pressure doesn't spike, then you can start back up a grain at a time. Check your groups since they may get better or worse as you move in towards the lands. Be sure to use the ogive to check OAL, since the bullet nose length will vary and you're going to be near the lands. [/QUOTE]
