[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 11065, member: 12"] BLMalcom The "best accuracy" requirement throws another question for a hunting gun. Do you plan on using the magazine? If so, you may not have a choice but to seat out to near max oal for the mag due to the bullet is too long to fit in the mag and be close to the lands. Finally depends on type of bullet. VLD type bullets like to be in the lands as deep as .045 as a rule. Not always but more times than not. Sierra bullets like to be no closer than barely touching and often shoot very well with as long a .040 jump. Once again, usually but not always. Bottom line is mag may limit you and each gun is beast unto its own. Hope this makes it clear as mud. BH [/QUOTE]
