LOADING INTO THE LANDS

[Joe Maisto]

Even with heavier neck tension I find that the bolt camming will seat the bullet a few thousandths deeper into the case if seating .015 to .020 into the lands. Seating hard jam will increase chamber pressure at max loads.

What I have against "seating hard" into the lands is... How many times I have seen whereby....there is a bullet stuck in the lands , and for some reason, you are required to open the bolt and your powder is now in your trigger group ? You had better find someone with a can of air . A .262 neck used to be what many of us used. That has changed somewhat to a .268 or thereabouts.

Neck is 262

I was asking @Tim Singleton what his chamber neck is.
