[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1985572, member: 101859"] Its the barrel. I chamber a lot of long range Benchrest barrels. Many competitors own their own reamer, stick with the same barrel make and have enough components on hand of the same lot to last many barrels. I can send out barrels of the same make, from the same bar of steel, with chambers so close you dont have to adjust the die, that will see the same lot of bullets, powder, and primers and one barrel may prefer to be in the lands, the next, off the lands. Now its also true that once you figure out a reamer, MOST of the barrels you chamber will like a similar seating, not all. Thats to do with the lead angle, not the lead angle on the print, but the actual lead angle the reamer cuts. There are tolerances. Order another reamer exactly the same and you will have to learn it again. I have seen no preference for a bullet shape to prefer one or the other. As many guys are jumping vlds as are jamming them. Same goes for the tangents. [/QUOTE]
