seating depth ?

[JB10]

Did they like a lot of jump in your rifle?

The 108 no, wanted to be touching the lands. Ive found the 140s like 20thou jump on 2 different rifles and touching on another. Them the 73 eldm liked 10 thou jump

I think I found the problem, to much neck tension. I used my Lee neck sizing die with a larger mandrel and the bullets seat much easier and way more precise. I loaded 10 rounds and they were all within .001
Thank you guys for all the help

I was just asking on the average, in general

Impossible to tell what your rifle likes. Honestly, I’ve never found a single one of our rifles that shoots better jumping bullets as opposed to loading into the lands.

I've never been fully convinced, mostly for lack of seeing any good demonstration, that loading into the lands makes a significant difference in consistency than jumping, until . . . I viewed the video on YouTube titled Bullets Hitting Bullets in Slow Motion. Looking at the caliber of people involved and their effort to get it right, they had to make an adjustment to consistently get their bullets to collide head on, which is described at the 17:00 to 19:00 minute points in the video. While they had various issues to solve to get there, loading the bullet into the rifling seemed the biggest technical solution to get the consistent results they wanted.

I've never loaded into the lands before, and I understand what's involved and the issues for safety, but I'm really kinda excited to give it a try and what what I can get.
