throating a 6BR

I have a new Shilen pre-fit for my Savage Target action on order. It is a 30" 1:8 twist. I want to primary shoot 2 bullets: 107 SMK and 95 Berger VLD. Below is a pick of the 107 SMK,left) and the 95 VLD,right) set to the distance to the ogive is 1.734". This puts the base of the boattail junction at the bottom of the neck with the longer 107 SMK. I figure that will give me maximum barrel life to case the lands as they move forward with age. Question is that seated too deep with the 107 SMK?

Thanks for your input, tiny

It's a little deeper than I would like. I'd keep the boat tail break about 0.050" above the neck shoulder junction to avoid the donut area.
