I have this Wby Accumark and when seating the bullets i have been running into some issues. I always set my bullets slightly shorter than the measurement i get via sticking a bullet in a fired case and closing the bolt. I then usually go about 15 thousands of an inch shorter than that.
When i do this with the Wby the VLD barley seats past the boat tail. I believe this is because of the freebore but not sure.
I hear a lot of individuals talk about seating .002" off the lands. How do i measure that in a 338-378?
Berger Reccomends seating bullets .040 to .130" from the lands.
I have never gotten into this part of reloading and cant imagine how to do this. I see a Horniday Tool but there is no 338-378 wby attachment for it (That i can see)...
Anyone have any tips for how to accurately seat these bullets?
