[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1040308, member: 12995"] I would leave a bit of a jump... How much of one is up to each individual rifle, as to where it likes the bullet seated. But I would definitely not put anything into the lands of a caliber that was the word "Magnum" at the end of it. Just a good rule of thumb I go by. And even some high-velocity calibers it is not a good idea, whether they are magnums, or not, such as .25-06. That can end very badly. The reason being, putting a bullet into the lands produces huge pressure spikes and with high velocity, or large capacity magnum calibers that already produce huge chamber pressures, that can be very bad. You can blow up a rifle, and possibly hurt yourself in the process. [/QUOTE]
