If you are shooting a 30 caliber, the part of the bullet that is going to make contact with the lands is going to be .300" or larger.
Ok, that makes sense! If I'm understanding you right, even though a 30 caliber bullet is supposed to be .300", it may be a bit larger and hit the lands sooner than a bullet that is exactly .300".
I'm shooting 7mm08, so theoretically, if both the Sierra Game King and the Nosler Accubond were "exactly" .284, then I would get the exact same measurement. So one of these two is larger in diameter than the other.
So, bottom line is, I need to determine distance to the lands for each and every different bullet type that I load in order to be able to seat them a measured distance off the lands.
Correct?
