[QUOTE="357Mag, post: 2215441, member: 106883"] Tribb - Howdy ! red FWIW - when renowned riflesmith Fred Sinclair ( NBRSA Hall of Fame'r ) was my go-to guy for custom accuracy rifles, he offered advice on loading practices; too. ba When doing load work for my " .22-35 Remington " wildcat, Fred suggested starting initial load work w/ bullets seated about .002" off the lands. From there, I was to try seating the bullets out farther and/or seating them deeper in the case; in seach of the best accuracy load. My barrel was a 24" SS Hart 5-groove 1-14. My rifle/wildcat were intended for shooting NE Indiana groundhogs. My bullet of choice was the Hornady .224" cal 55SX. As it turned out, the .002" off the lands starting seating depth tested out to ultimately proove to be the best choice. Fred knew his stuff, fer sher ! So, I will pass that along to you; as that approach from Sinclair as worked well for me on multiple rifles. Keep us posted With regards, 357Mag [/QUOTE]
