[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2126301, member: 15054"] If you seat out too far and stick the bullets into the lands and need to remove that round before you shoot it off it may stick the bullet in the lands and when you pull the bolt back you may only pull the brass back. This will dump all the powder into the gun. That is seated too far. As long as accuracy improves and the bullet stays in and does not tip sideways when you jar it you are good. Some people say you need .308" worth of bearing surface into the neck of a round that measures .308" diameter.. and .243" for a 6mm Can't get that all the time...I feel that is wives tale anyhow. Watch for pressure signs. I have found short bearing bullets like that like the higher speeds in my guns. and like to be seated close to the lands or in them [/QUOTE]
