[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1451104, member: 5219"] The cannulure (knurled zone) is used for crimping the cartridge neck on the bullet. I am now wondering about ANY 6.5 that would need to be crimped but that is another thread. Seat where you desire within certain parameters. Not so deep into the lands that should you have to remove the loaded round without firing it would leave the bullet in the barrel and spill powder. Or if you desire a repeater not so long that wouldn't fit and feed properly from the magazine. Or with a short bullet not enough contact with the cartridge neck. What you are doing is fine. Work up your powder charge for best accuracy and you should be good. [/QUOTE]
