How far off the lands and grooves do you seat your bullets?
« on: February 02, 2011, 12:36:37 PM »
I am reloading for several calibers with my newer encore barrels I recently acquired.  How far off the lands and grooves do you seat your bullets?  .020? 

Thanks.

I let by barrel decide that for me most are close or touching!

I have always seated my bullets into the lands/grooves as if a match chamber whether it is or not.   A trick I learned many, many years ago from Don Bower with his Bower wildcats.   Load workup has to be done to keep pressures safe, but the advantages in TC actions far out weighs having to do that little extra.

One species has evolved into obese cranial fatheads with thin skin in comparison that whines about anything and everything as their shield against their environment. Meus
