[QUOTE="Buck Buster, post: 1391177, member: 99718"] First off I only neck size. Usually the best accuracy comes from the bullet just touching the lands or slightly off of them, not always though. All guns are different as far as the bullet they like best, the speed of the bullet, they don't always shoot the best at the fastest speed that you can send them down the tube. You have to play with different variables. As far as seating the bullet against the lands, the way I do it is barely resize the neck of a dummy, maybe about 1/4 inch down the neck just enough to hold the bullet snug in the case. I now start to seat a bullet in the die but not far, I take the dummy out of the die and lay it in my rifle and start to close the action. I will push the action shut with steady palm pressure till I can close my bolt, you now have a bullet seated against the lands. Back your seating die off so it won't seat your bullet farther when you put it back in and run your press down, now you slowly screw the seat down to where it makes contact with the bullet. You can start right there working a load up, all of your bullets will be seated the same. If you want to seat them deeper just screw the inside of your seating die down farther till you find the best accuracy. My 308 Norma shoots great with the bullet lightly touching the lands, and my 300 Win. did too but the seated out bullets wouldn't fit into the clip then. I jest kept screwing and seating till they just fit in my clip. They are a mile from the lands, but shoot good enough for a basic hunting rifle. Just under minute of angle. Good luck hunting and be safe. [/QUOTE]
