My Rem LTR in 308 will shoot 1/2 to 1/4 inch groups all day with 168 SMK's loaded to mag length at a 100 yards. 42.0 grs IMR 4064 with Fed match primers in a Fed match case.

I do have a Win Mdl 70 F/W in '06 which does like my hunting bullets seated close to the lands. The long rounds fit the mag. This rifle is sub MOA at 100 yards.

I have a couple of match AR's which shoot sub MOA at 600 yards with 80 SMK's loaded long with the bullets 15 thousands off the lands. These are single loaded.

Shoot your Remmy and see what it wants before getting wound up on bullet seating depth. They are all a little different.
