Chasing the lands/How much meat to leave in the bone?

Mike,
I always thought that chasing the lands was the way to regain precision with a worn throat, until I observed that chasing the lands did nothing for the precision of my loads. I now chase velocity and have had good success doing so.

So many people talk about chasing lands, I've got to think that there are some cases where it works. Is it necessary w certain bullets like VLDs?

I'd like to know what other experienced handloders do as well, I tend to chase the lands but Mike is really the only guy I have ever heard this info from. It sure would make life simpler .

Anyone...

Never credit what everyone 'does' as correct, unless a rare occasion that it's also understood.
Anyway, it truly hurts nothing to try it & see. Might work well for you.

Will do.
