Seating a bullet close to the lands is a good thing to do.....however please remember that this don' t guarantee accuracy alone. Weatherby rifles were (and still might be) " free bored" meaning the rifling was removed a ways ahead of most chambers and this allowed the bullet to get a jump and create more space to reduce pressures. Weatherby rifles typically shot well and this tends to disprove the theory about loading close to the lands. As far as I' m concerned, it' s just a finess thing and not a revelation to accuracy. Finding the well made bullet that you gun likes is the biggest key......no matter how precision your rifle or your reloads, if the bullet is not concentric, the groups will look like pie plates.

I' m in agreement about loading close to the lands.....but there' s much much more to it than that!
