    My 2c, dont assume .02" off the lands is the best for precision. VLD shooters are finding out that not all benchrest trends cross over to LR setups. I found some of my most accurate nodes were way back beyond .05" so its worth doing a full seating test plus using a decent gauge to find realtime distance to your lands. After firing say 200 you need to confirm it or adjust for any erosion. Point is you will use this guage many more times than just once.
