[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1494689, member: 30902"] Just don't shoot VLD's and you won't have to worry about it. VLD's are sensitive to seating depth due to the secant ogive, non vld's have a much gentler slope into the lands due to the tangential ogive and thus are not so sensitive. [URL]http://www.accurateshooter.com/ballistics/tangent-vs-secant-vs-hybrid-ogive-bullets/[/URL] Also and very importantly the closer you seat a bullet to the lands the higher pressure you'll get from the same load and the step from no pressure signs to dangerous pressure is much shorter. Especially for the novice shooter and reloader it's best and certainly safest to stay well off of the lands. [/QUOTE]
