[QUOTE="Oldtime Shooter13, post: 2085815, member: 109503"] My Savage 6 MM Creed is totally opposite. With a 107gr Nosler HPBT Custom Comp bullet measures 2.775” CBTO seated at the lans. Bullet OAL is 1.2265” and BTO .6820” with the boat tail measuring .1750”. I have always used seating depth into the neck should equal bullet diameter or close? In the case of my rifle to seat the bullets into the case neck .2430” that would be an CBTO of 2.179” which if my calculations are correct .0985 off of the lans. I have about 100 rounds down the pipe shooting mostly these 107 gr’ers with pretty decent accuracy (.25-.50 MOA) I have been loading everything 20-30 thousands off the lans, but I am only shooting off the bench for now. I would not trust seating bullets this shallow into the neck for hunting? If I were to seat bullets .050 off the lans I would be seating .200 into the neck, which I feel is acceptable to stabilize loading from magazine into the chamber. Now talking with others about the 6 Creed is that they are seating .070 off the lans and even .100 and getting good accuracy. This tells me the cartridge likes jump? This has never been my experience before seating that far off the lans?? I am currently heading in this direction to find out? [/QUOTE]
