[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1368172, member: 101859"] Every barrel is a little different but in just about every one they will want you to chase the rifling as it wears. Enough so that its common practice for successful competitors to measure the length to the lands every time they reload to maintain the relationship. I have had only one barrel in my life that wanted to be left at its original seating depth. The barrel will tell you what it likes. I dont have an issue putting bullets in the lands for hunting, but if you dont want to, start at the touch point and seat the bullet deeper in the case .003" at a time. Seating .010" increments will have you jumping right past seating depth nodes. [/QUOTE]
