[QUOTE="Eagle Eye, post: 2828143, member: 34489"] I with ya. I think I am just asking if my thinking about this topic is correct. The brass i am using is sized to 0.002 from headspace. Case neck was then trimmed to recommended case length. The measure at which the bullet contacts the lands is 0.200 (for the 700). This should not change like you said. I want to get the bullet as close to the lands as possible. The smallest depth that I can seat the bullet is when COAL is just under maximum. There is a warning that the bullet should be seated at least as deep as it is wide. no problem there. when done, I want to know how close this bullet is to the lands. It turns out the bullet is behind the lands (measurements listed in OP). I figure that this is the smallest distance between bullet and lands I can achieve with this bullet, because the cartridge is at max COAL. Q1: Is this correct? Could I achieve a smaller distance between bullet and lands IF I trimmed case neck to just over recommended case length (so lengthening the case overall length)? I am thinking not, since I am seating to max COAL (just under max). Q2: Is this correct? If I tired a different bullet, lets say a round nose, and seated to max COAL, I may find that distance between bullet and lands, relative to the distance in first example, is smaller, larger, or the same. Theoretically I might need to seat bullet deeper (reducing COAL). Q3: is this line of thinking correct? [/QUOTE]
