[QUOTE="Sig220, post: 136886, member: 7083"] [ QUOTE ] I've always done that with every bullet I've loaded. As far as distance from the lands I've got a factory bbl on my rifle so I just load it to as long as it will reliably load into the magazine. I can touch the lands with the bullet about 1/10" into the case so I'm pretty far off...freebore city...
