[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 961955, member: 22069"] A lot of folks claim that being able to load close to the rifling is a requirement for best accuracy. I have not found that to be true in my rifles. Only one of my rifles has responded well to "jam" length loads. Another of my rifles shoots most accurately with Berger VLD's loaded .120" off the rifling. The rest of my rifles do their best work with bullets seated from .040 to .080 off the lands. So many people obsess needlessly over getting close to the rifling, taking internet legend as gospel truth, without actually investigating for themselves. Having said that, being able to load long with heavy bullets can allow one to obtain increases in performance over loading to book length. It is worth some experimentation to learn what is possible in your rifle and what your rifle likes best. If necessary, mods can be made to accommodate your best loads. It all really depends on what your rifle likes and what you decide you want from your rifle. [/QUOTE]
