I loaded some 75 grain v-max in my 6mm rem. I tried the overall length method of putting it in the chamber long and gradually seating it deaper until there were not any more scratches. I checked it after a few tries and the calipers said it was way under the min. legth in the manual of 2.790. For further info I used 38 grains of reloader 15. Is there maybe something else that is leaving these marks on the bullet instead of the lands? I did steel wool the bullet each time I tried it.
