180 hybrid seating - in or out of lands?

[lrgoodger]

From what I've read on this site, the consensus on the 180 hybrid in the .284 Shehane seems to be to seat it about .015 off the lands. Is anyone getting better results seating into the lands?

Five lots of Hybrids, four barrels; all shoot best between .015" & .020". Start at .010" out and seat deeper in .003" increments.

I shot 105 hybrids in my 6mm dasher. They shot much better when jammed .020" into the lands. They still shot ok when jumped but shot better when jammed. On my 7mm dakota hybrids shoot better jumped.

Well, MY 284 Shehane shoots them better .015 in the lands. I shot them .010 - .015 out of the lands all last week and was not happy with the results. Although I'm still getting a flyer in almost every group, it went back to putting four out of five in one hole at 200 yards when I went back into the lands. I fired my first two groups at 500 yards (that's the furthest I have available) yesterday evening. They were 1.91" & 2.00". They should be smaller. I'm not sure I'm going to be happy with that, especially with some guy's dasher puttin' 'em all in a dime at 600 yards.
