    What I've done is seated the 162gr eld M so where the straight part of the bullet starts to boat tail inwards is in line with where the neck and the shoulder of the case(Lapua) meet. What I'm asking is should I seat it deeper?Attachment 231038

    I think I've seated it correctly for a dummy round for them to ream out to. The action is a remington 700 LA.

    I've done 5 dummy rounds to check for cycling and fitting in the magazine too.
    FYI you have the bullet siiting too deep into your vernier jaws. It's is not reading a correct measure. Your actual length will be longer than 3.2".

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds
