Hi Gents,
I'm due to receive a new stock for my rifle and as it comes with a slightly longer magazine I can now seat the berger hybrids to the lands.
As a result, I've started to get a little more precise with my OAL's - using a hornady OAL gauge, I pushed the bullet until it contacts the lands, then backed it off 0.001 for my final seating. I'm using a comparator gauge to measure to the ogive. the issue is when I use a texta to mark the bullet and chamber it, I can still clearly see where the lands are contacting the bullet?
I assume that if i can see the lands on the bullet, then the bullet is actually jammed and not seated off the lands is this correct?
if not can anyone help me out with where I'm going wrong?
any help much appreciated!
