[QUOTE="PGJPJ, post: 1221496, member: 90674"] I've heard that you should have at least 1 caliber of the bearing surface of the bullet in the neck for good neck tension. I tried searching the mighty internet, and there appears to be a variety of opinions on this. Is there any truth to this? I'm asking because I have a fairly long throat, but also a very long magazine. I can seat to the lands, but I'd only have 0.183" in a 0.284 caliber. This is a 280ai, and I'm trying to load 168 grain Berger VLD. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
