Not totally understanding this.       05/30/08 08:24 PM Edit   Reply   Quote   Quick Reply   What is the point to going to the trouble of measuring distance to the lands when I have to seat my bullets to factory specs for the OAL in order for them to cycle in my rifle's magazine. Nosler gives the OAL for the 300 saum at 2.825 (this is a head to tip measurement) and that is the longest I can seat my bullets and them still clear my magazine. To the lands in this rifle using Nosler 180gr AccuBonds is 2.9915 but I have to seat the bullets to no longer than 2.825 or they won't clear the magazine and will not cycle through the gun properly so for all purposes I seat to clear the magazine regardless of how far off the lands the bullet is. It was the same way when I was reloading 180gr Scirocco 2. In order to seat just off the lands or even close to the lands I would have to shoot the rifle as a single shot. -------------------- sjadventures@cableone.net www.sportsmansjunction.com Booking Hunting Trips WorldWide Post Extras
