Back when I was a handloading phreak, I experimented with bullet-to-land distances in my .270. I seated them as close as .005" all the way back to factory OAL. Honestly, I didn't see that much difference in the grouping.

If I was shooting Olympic-level competition or shooting for money, maybe it would be worth the trouble/risk but for hunting, it was a waste of time in my case. Even in a bolt action rifle, when you're seating that close you have to worry about bullet creep in the magazine under recoil. Just my opinion.

I'm more active than most men twice my age.
