Default Close to lands or not?

I' m fairly new to reloading and i' ve always been told that a rifle shoots better with the bullet seated close to the lands. I have a Rem 700 30.06 seated .010 off the lands and it shoots great. I recently bought a Rem 700 25.06 and i' ve been trying to work up a load for it seating the bullet the same way with no luck at all. I' ve tried several different bullets, powders, and primers with the same results, poor accuracy. Do i need to change my seating depth and how many of you guys seat close to the lands and does it really matter? Thank You!
