[QUOTE="mikebob, post: 446165, member: 6041"] I have a 22-243 that I shoot 90gr berger VLD's in. I shoot retumbo powder, .004 tight neck and seat bullets .010 into the lands. When I eject a bullet it is the same length, it just has lines about .005 long all the way around it from the lands. They are so minute you cant even feel them. I have had this rifle for 4 years and around 1200 rounds through it and have yet to pull a bullet apart, but I do run a .004 tight neck instead of .002. I do not believe you will have a bullet pull apart problems unless you seat them in deeper than .010. I tried shooting from touching to .100 off the lands, which was not very good. At .010 into the lands it will shoot 1 ragged hole at 300 yards. All my other rifles I load at least .010 off the lands and get same results, this hart 26" just likes them in the lands. This 22 cal. 90gr berger VLD is the same length as a .30 cal 168gr berger VLD which might be why it likes being into the lands because it is so long. [/QUOTE]
