[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 416554, member: 9215"] How far off the lands to start isn't a fixed thing, most of us pick something we've had good luck with and start trying to find a good shooting charge. I've had good luck around 30 thou off the lands with most cartridges so that's about where I start. After finding the best powder charge I'll do seating tests moving both in and out. [I]Where do I start seating? .04" thou off the lands .02" thou, or .01" off or .09" off the lands like the factory loads? [/I] Not real sure I follow your figures. In your first instance, I doubt you really mean to start 40 micro inches off the lands, which is what .04 thou off the lands amounts to. If you mean 40 thou off then that's okay too. [/QUOTE]
