Hornady 52 gr Match seating

[strut64]

I was given an almost full box of Hornady 52 gr Match bullets. Is there a suggestion on seating depth for these pills in a 223 Rem? Hornady's website says they have a secant ogive and to me that says they might like to be touching or jammed in the rifling. any real experience out there? I will use them for casual paper punching.

It has been my experience that universally .224's like to be jumped. I usually end up around .060" off.

Assuming a bolt gun, I get good results in my rig about .010" off. Lighter bullets (40's) and unleaded go about .045" off.
