[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 980735, member: 61747"] Most books say you need the same amount bullet in the case neck as the diameter of bullet. So you need .308 of bullet bearing surface in the neck of the case. Rule of Thumb. Some people will increase neck tension and run less bullet. I tend to run close to the rule of thumb and test for accuracy based on that seating depth and deeper. Usually works out just fine and I find a decent accuracy node. Many rifles shoot factory ammo fine and the seating depth is .150 to .250 from the barres lands. [/QUOTE]
