[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2085358, member: 15054"] For my rifles i like to start .010" off the lands..and that means using a sharpie to color the bullet and seat it fully with the bolt and extract it. then look for any rifling marks..I set them up at zero marks then make the round .010" shorter. So if no marks at 2.780 i well set it up at 2.770" to start with.. Then do a ladder test with my powders...find the sweet spot and then play with OAL of the round. I have only had one bullet that liked being jammed into the lands..I do not use that bullet or load anymore.. Dangerous..and if you need to extract the non fired round, you may dump powder all inside the gun. [/QUOTE]
