Kinda curious about this with the semi auto... Do you load as long as the Mag will allow or do you still use the Stoney point gauge???
It is generally best, from an accuracy viewpoint, to seat the bullet pretty close to the lands (but there are certainly EXCEPTIONS to this rule too!)
So seat your bullet as close to the lands as you wouild for a bolt-action, as long as the rounds fit the magazine and feed correctly.
