thanks for the information. the seating depth question arose because I have a long throated rifle. When I try to load close to the lands it would leave very little of the bullet in the neck. was wanting to know what the least bullet depth in the neck is required? thanks
As long as the bullet doesn't fall out, your deep enough.
I've gone to a heavier bullet at times when I couldn't get as close to the lands as I wanted. Only when I wasn't getting the accuracy I wanted though. I don't care if the bullet is a quarter inch from the lands if it groups well (which it wouldn't!)
