I use Sierra matchkings and finally getting into trying to tune the seating depths useing a bullet comp. instead of measurements from the tip which of course is never the same..
I seat a bullet long but of course the bolt will not close it seems like it would take a hammer to close it to push the bullet in and I really don't want to force or break anything.. should I just take a dremel tool and cut a slit in the neck to release some tension?? I use rcbs full length dies , of course barely setting the shoulders back but can not control neck tension..
Should I just seat , pull the bullet and reseat till some tension eases up?? I just don't want to stick or break anything I am just trying to move on and learn something new.. I am useing a Savage 10 T-SR.. am I starting by seating way to long or something... I am just trying to see how much jump to use it's just a guess measured off the tips ( COAL )..
I am not a competition shooter like you guys I just enjoy shooting and reloading...
Thanks in advance
