[QUOTE="daniel brothers, post: 674303, member: 23208"] that is correct.... closer to the lands the better in most cases... and usually hotter the better.... BUT.... NOT in all cases.... .020 is just a starting point. BUT... you can also take the earlier advice from Backwoods and try them inside and outside the lands. BUT FIRST.... get the load close... then mess with the seating later. If your into the lands.. pressure will go up... but that can be okay unless it's too hot. Get the powder charge right or close first... shoot 5-8 little 3 round groups at 5-8 target spots... but load them different in at least .3 grains different... up to max... but shoot the lower ones first and work up.... and allowing at least 2 mins between each shot for barrel to cool. Look for your best 3 groups that are side by side... and choose the charge of the middle one. [/QUOTE]
