[QUOTE="CarbonBonds, post: 1268165, member: 97250"] Hello, I have a question on seating a 95gr tipped Sierra matchking in a .243 win. In an unprimed brass I seated the bullet 0.020" off the lands: COL @ 2.675" to get the right length before loading up actual rounds to shoot. When I went to measure the length, the bullet itself was pushed deeper into the empty cartridge. Do I need more of a crimp to secure the bullet better? I sized and cleaned all of my brass prior to shooting this Christmas break. Just the other day I loaded 105gr AMAX's and I had my test COL unprimed round for the .243 as well. The AMAX was rock solid and didn't move at all. Happy New Year everyone! CarbonBonds [/QUOTE]
