[QUOTE="dbhostler, post: 33687, member: 799"] JustC; I used to seat the bullet in a lightly sized case but found that to be to inconsistant. I now use a Sinclair seating tool and measure OAL with a Stoney Point tool. I lightly tap the base of the bullet to make sure it is centered and yes this will no doubt force it into the lands a couple of thousands. But I don't worry about that too much because the cases are not perfect either, ie base thickness and perfectly flat. Len; I thought that most rifles retract the firing pin when the bolt is lifted?
