[QUOTE="YZ-80, post: 1592432, member: 109229"] I think brentc means where the angular portion of the boat-tail transitions to the fatter part of the bullet (toward the meplat) make that part even with the top of the shoulder. In any event, maybe it's dumb luck but I start out seating just about everything .020 off the lands (that's if the mag will accomodate it [I]and[/I] it's not more than the diameter of the bullet out of the case). 9 times out of 10, this seating depth works for me and yields more than satisfactory results from an accuracy perspective. With VLDs, I find that neck tension becomes insufficient if I seat stuff too far out (no surprise) which becomes particularly evident when I correct for concentricity and things get "loose". [/QUOTE]
