[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2914907, member: 122164"] Seating depth, in the 7 mags I own, shooting 120-160g nosler ballistic tips, I sort bullets by ogive length, then seat them to barely kiss the lands. By using this method, I get 3/8" and less size groups. In 30 years, I have never stuck a bullet in the barrel using this method that was taught to me by an old German Gunsmith. I full-length size on every firing of the brass, Rem and Winchester. Then I ordered a 308 reamer with short freebore, glory be what small groups at 300 yards with 155-175g Sierra's! I am going to try Mr. Beans method of crimping, as Lee also has different sizes of mandrels which are easily modified, helping with neck tension needed. I know that McMaster Carr also carries different sizes of mandrels that can be held in place with a simple O ring varying in size from .0001 for one class of mandrel to .0005 on another class of mandrel.
