That is exactly how they work the front and just shatters all the pedals go everywhere usually four big pedals that are easily retrievable and the rest of the shank just drives through like a lead cast bullet from a 44 Magnum
Yup all copper bullets .050" off lands.
That is the weird thing about loading. It is such an "imprecise" science...if I am using the correct word.
Many different paths lead to happiness or frustration.

Bullet all the way.
TTSX, LRX, Hammers (tipped hammer if possible) and ..unfortunately now defunct...GS Custom.
Accubonds also make the list (NOT ABLR's)
I wish I could offer some opinions and/or advice on this subject but with the exception of a Ruger #1 in 264 Mag (all stock factory rifle) I have never ever gotten an ABLR to shoot anywhere near MOA for any of my other rifles. And I am talking an arsenal, not one or two guns.
Up till now (and I have been doing this for decades) I have never had to pay with seating depth.
A little powder more or a little less worked great for me.
Now loading Hammers..... They are so uniform that loading them to accuracy is too easy, if I dare say so.
I no longer go crazy like I used to and I was younger. I'm not talking about prairie dog coyotes and steel but actual big game. Ernie I'm thinking 500 yards the most I think it should be fine about tht distance, but you know anal is anal LOL
I know I'm probably overthinking this but I usually do with everything. Just worried about jacket Core separation even though I most of the time that it does occur ....both are found together after the work is done.
I had a friend of mine shoot an antelope 150 yards away. He used a 99 Savage...
