[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1036841, member: 12193"] Sorry if I'm coming across as a noob here, I've just never encountered data that recommends seating the ogive down into the neck. I've been loading for over 20 years and tens of thousands of rounds. I'm very familiar with the different parts of a rifle bullet, having designed and built my own at one point. I also understand the convention of using the lands as a datum point since most rifles have a relatively short freebore. That's where I measure from on my other rifles. I don't plan on coming within even .200 of the lands with this gun which is why I feel that distance is moot. I'm just going to use a different datum point, such as cartridge base to ogive or COAL instead. [/QUOTE]
