I shoot BOLT actions and I start out with the bullet seated out too far and magic marker the bullet so I can see the bullet hitting the lands,then gradually seat it deeper till the bolt closes but with slight drag and back off .005-.010 and try many combos (nickel,brass,new brass,once fired in that rifle,every powder that I have that will work in that gun.ECT<ECT<ECT) and to this day my best load gets me 1.125group @ 300yrds =.05 OFF LANDS, ask that praire dog that I shot at 787yrds if I'm full of it ,but most of my other loads are best .01-.015 off lands.I haven't a clue what the book oal for those loads are supposed to be.I'm not" limited" in length by my magazine. I have a way to measure off ogive so I can repeat the loads.
