[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 2651604, member: 4191"] Exactly correct. The sealtite band touches the throat in my chambers before the ogive touches the lands on each of my rifles, because the sealtite band is larger in diameter than your throat diameter. Which explains the relatively short bullet jump recommendations. The sealtite band has to be very close to the case mouth, or the band will be squished into your throat. So unless your chambers are exceptionally short throated, and your throat starts a long distance from your case mouth, the sealtite band will contact your throat before the ogive touches the lands. First step I take for Lazer bullets with each of my rifles is blacken the forward edge of the sealtite band with a black felt pen. Next, determine and record the Hornady tool measurement when the sealtite band just clears your throat. Contact with the throat will remove the black felt pen mark from the forward edge of the sealtite band. With the Hornady tool measurement for throat contact recorded, you can now move the sealtite band away from your throat a "known" distance. And Cutting Edge recommends two bullet seating depth ranges. 1) .000" to .005" [B]OR[/B] 2) .020" - .030". Anybody calls Cutting Edge and talks to a Tech Rep and learns something different than what I've posted, please inform the membership, including the name of the Tech Rep spoken to. [/QUOTE]
