Loading the bullet to touch the lands or Loading the bullet to where the FB or top of BT is level with the neck of the case The reason I ask is my 300 WM. The rifle has a long freebore. In order for me to get the bullets out to the lands, the OAL is 3.665". To seat the bullet down to where the top of the bt is level with the case neck would make the OAL around 3.345". I know the bottom line is I will have to try both, but I am just wondering which one is more important to you. [/QUOTE]
