Thread: 284 seating depth query

Hi folks.

So my 284win is off to gunworks in a fortnight for its new Shillen barrel.

I've been asked to provide a dummy round which I've done.

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?

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.
