Default RE: Not totally understanding this.

I have a Sako 85in .25-06 that I can load all the way to the lands. This is because the .25-06 shares a common action and box magazine length with other longer cartridges. Doesn't really matter though, as my gun likes bullets at least 0.025" off the lands.

I think many people fail to realize that optimizing barrel harmonics is the key, and loading close to the lands matters less than finding the optimum combination of powder charge and seating depth that minimize harmonic vibrations in the barrel. You'll never getWeatherbyrifles (in Weatherby rifles) loaded out close to the lands due to freebore, but mine shoots MOA with factory 180 grain spire points. Harmonics.
