[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1122760, member: 90399"] Yes, you are good. [U]Most [/U]people that say they seat their bullets .005 off the lands (for example), are only taking an educated guess like yourself. Usually by averaging 5-10 sample measurements. If you're a couple thousandths off on your measurements, it's not a huge deal. Your accuracy window for bullet seating depths are .030-.040 wide. If you haven't read it yet, read this: [URL]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f28/getting-best-precision-accuracy-berger-vld-bullets-your-rifle-40204/[/URL] (It doesn't matter if you are not shooting Berger bullets, it still applies). Just remember what your end goal is. Is it to know your true COAL down to the .001 of an inch? I would assume not. Your goal is mostly likely the same as mine, to reload more accurate ammo for a specific rifle. Take a look at that link I posted. It's probably one of the best stickies on this entire forum. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
