how far off lands for mono metal bullets like Barnes TSX?

[Dand]

Got back to loading last night after an 8 month break.

Loading for a  243 that is a new rifle and cartridge for me.

I loaded up some 85 gr Barnes TSX following the manual for an overall length of 2.645.

That bullet hits the lands at OAL of 2.717 or .072 inch farther.

What is the rule of thumb for Barnes and Nos Etip etc?  I know they are often recommended to be seat off farther than normal bullets.

Thanks for advice.

I think they recommend 0.050" to 0.080" off the lands. I stay in that range.

thanks - glad to see I'm "in range" on this load.
