[QUOTE="YZ-80, post: 1692293, member: 109229"] Well Vandy, you might have a completely different result with a different bullet. If you took an Accubond for example, you might get a very defined “hard stop” at the lands and be within .001-.002 every time. When you talk about feeling resistance and giving it a few extra taps, that’s what I was referring to (I.e., “ mushy resistance”). I misunderstood in that I thought you were wanting to seat at .003” off the lands. Starting at .020 off is what I would advocate and I think that’s what you’re trying to do. I may be all wet, but I think with the Berger, If you can seat .015 to .020 consistently while watching concentricity and neck tension you will be fine. I think that Berger ogive profile is just too gradual in girdth increase to give you a defined stop at the lands and that’s what’s causing the problem getting a more exact measurement. [/QUOTE]
