[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1104246, member: 2736"] It has always been considered ideal to seat the bullet at the base of the neck or the body of a boat tailed bullet at the base of the neck (The boat tail part of the bullet would infringe on the powder capacity of the cartridge. It has not been proven that this condition was detrimental to accuracy, just powder capacity. To me, a round that fits the magazine is more important for hunting than single loading. With proper case prep and good loading practice seating deep should not be a problem for accuracy. On the velocity question, Pressure = equals velocity, so with less powder and faster powders you should be able to match the velocity because with more seating length off the lands you sometimes get more volume from the same powder charge. Work up the load that the rifle likes the best at the length you want and all will be fine. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
