[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 694269, member: 505"] That is the seal tight band making contact with the front of the chamber. It stops the bullet travel and prevents you from getting to the lands. I have coated bullets with mica and put them in the chamber to check lands contact and can not get one to the lands unless I shave off the seal tight band. I back off .025 on average from the seal tight band contact to get good groups. The guys at CE I am sure have other options. I have only been shooting these a year but learning fast since I shoot quite a bit. Augustus gets some good groups with the CE bullets but I don't know what his method is. Last week it was incredible some of the groups I was shooting. I have a 338-378 wby that likes the seal tight band way down in the case for best accuracy. Right where the boat tail starts to taper even with the beginning of the case neck. That is the load I made a 1130 yard kill with last year and several 700-900 yard kills by me and my buddies.
