[QUOTE="Blwebster, post: 998038, member: 82312"] Cannot seat bullets within .02 of lands because there would be too little bullet in the case neck to hold it. Have been loading 150 grain Sierras and hornady 165 grain interlocks. But had to set seating depth to 2.750 for the 150 gr and 2.80 for the Hornadys...neither was close enough to the lands meaning lots of jump...(too much freebore). Tried to seat some winchster 180 gr power points to 2.8 but they will not chamber, yet the have not touched the lands either. Had to back down to coal of 2.750 to be able to chamber it. Only the 150 sierras group well (under .5 moa) while all others open up to around 1.5" groups. Ideas [/QUOTE]
