[QUOTE="Robbin, post: 381610, member: 12246"] I seat all the bullets for my rifles into the lands where possible. But touching the lands (so the bullet doesn't get a running start before it encounters the lands) raises pressures. Quick Load suggests adding 5k to the starting pressure of a round. I agree with Montana, treat touching the lands as a new load, back down to a mild load, change your seating depth and work up from there. I have yet to shoot a VLD that didn't shoot better touching the lands. Good luck, Robbin [/QUOTE]
