[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 2718901, member: 10"] Seating the bullet at least one caliber into the neck is kind of the old rule of thumb standard. Works just fine but there is no real basis behind it. Many precision shooters seat to much shallower depths then this, especially with single shot rifles where a loaded round does not have to have its projo contact a feed ramp and then be forced up and out of a magazine box. In this situation, a projo can actually be forced out of axial alignment with the case which has the potential to cause issues when fired as far as the projo entering the throat in axial alignment. as mentioned, magazine length and throat length will determine your max allowable over all length.
