[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 2789761, member: 14204"] I have no strong opinion, but I stopped chasing the lands long ago. I measure for reference and prefer ~.020" off the lands. Each component combination varies from rifle to rifle. I had .300 WSM, and the best group was .160" off the lands. Finding a load compromise at .080" off the lands took me a while. My latest build, a .338 Thor, while I am only fire-forming, and breaking in the barrel, the 250g Hornady is .165" off the lands. I say run with it if you are pleased with it and feel safe. Good luck, and keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
