[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1316057, member: 7999"] With our bullets it is not too particular. I still always try to start as long as I can given the limitations of magazine. If the magazine is not the limiting factor is start .002 off the lands. I do not like to start touching the lands with any bullet as it can cause problems that are not worth it. Particularly in a hunting rifle. So I start as long as possible and work up. Then if there is seating adjustments to make there is only one way to make that adjustment. Shorter. With some setups you may have to look at single feeding the rifle in order to shoot the longer bullets. .002" off the lands is usually a good bet and could make the rifle a single feed. Not such a bad thing. I have hunted quite a bit with my rifle set up this way. I just carry ammo on my hip. Doesn't take long to grab one and feed it and have a follow shot. Steve [/QUOTE]
