[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 287619, member: 4191"] That's what I would do with the VLDs. Jam then into the lands about .010" and vary the powder charges. Then you could take the best powder charge and try 0.010" off the lands, 0.020" off the lands, etc. out to 0.070" off the lands. Many times they will shoot just fine slightly jammed into the lands. With non-VLD style bullets, start with the bullet 0.015-0.020" off the lands rather than jammed into the lands. Non-VLDs are typically kept off the lands to avoid pressure variations that could result if some touch the lands and some don't. 0.015" off the lands should keep them all off the lands. [/QUOTE]
