I had asked this before to some of the 30-378 shooters and if it was answered...apologies...if I didn't see it...
I'm ready to start working on some precision loads. I've got brass accumulated shooting factory and just buying new brass...
THE QUESTION...
With WBY and the free bore they do...
How far away from the lands are you seating the bullet.
OAL means nothing here as every different bullet will present a different length based on my ogive gauge
BUT...
As a rule on the 30-378....
How far, OR CLOSE, are you seating the bullets...
I will obviously tweak this to tighten up the accuracy...
I'm not concerned about magazine length as this will only be shot as a single...at least at this point in time but with the freebore something touching the lands might look rather silly loaded in the case...???
Moreover I don't want to have any pressure issues and many things can cause a pressure spike seating depth being one of them.
Thank you
