[QUOTE="KYpatriot, post: 1119176, member: 48028"] Thats a good place to start, but dont be afraid to jump them either you may just find it works great. People have gotten good results either way. I think seating depth relative to the lands is important for some rifle/load combos, but more often i think it has more to do with how the seating depth affects the case volume and powder burn. Bottom line is you just have to try different things and in general i have had very good success jumping bullets. In fact, i absolutely refuse to seat into the lands or jam. To me that is crazy for a hunting rifle or anyone who uses a rifle in the line of duty. I usually start about 20 thou off, and move up or back as necessary. Id get a comfortable overall length for the magazine, that gives you some room to "grow" the overaall length so you can chase the lands as necessary as they erode. [/QUOTE]
