I am shooting a Browning A bolt II in .308. The load in particular is a Nosler Ballistic tip 150gr over 43.5 grains of H-4895 in Remington brass with Federal 210 primers. The length listed in the Lyman 48th edition book is 2.78" and I loaded them to 2.800." It is not touching the lands and I do not think that it is even close to touching, but the 150gr bullet is relatively short, so I want to seat it deep enough to be consistent. I know that my .270 of the same make does not contact the lands even if I seat it out farther than I am comfortable with (3.400"). Sorry for being long winded but I want to be thorough.
