[QUOTE="TnTom, post: 446133, member: 21944"] Let me try again. When a bullet is "jammed" .010, .020 or whatever "into the lands" what gives? Seating a bullet "to" the lands to me means no jump, no "jam". If I load a round that measures x.000" just contacting the rifling and then were to load a round that measures x.010" before it were chambered where is the extra .010 absorbed when chambered? I see one of two things happening. (1) the bullet gets forced .010 deeper into the case or (2) the the lands embed into the bullet by that amount. I would really like to get an understanding of this. In jamming a load are we talking about sinking the lands into the jacket by a specific amount, a point that is beyond just touching the lands or seating the bullet deeper into the case by chambering?
