[QUOTE="Shoalwater, post: 1017084, member: 65420"] I understanding seating and how to go about it, I guess what I am really asking is what do y'all feel is the minimum amount of bearing surface necessary in the case neck for a hunting rifle? Keep in mind that I know my seating depth will be dictated by where my particular barrel likes them, I am just trying to decide where to seat the bullets for the dummy round to have my custom reamer made. In other words, I don't want to throat the barrel where the ogive is touching the lands with only .100" of the bearing surface in the neck and everyone here says you really need to have at least .284" of bearing surface in the neck for a hunting rifle. That would leave .184" off the lands which in my experience most bullets shoot better closer to the lands. It all makes since in my head what I am trying to convey, just isn't coming across in my words for some reason. [/QUOTE]
