Thread: Minimium amount the projectile should be seated inside the neck of the case

Hi, I’m trying to stretch my projectiles out to get them as close to the lands as practical. I’ve noticed that I only have around half the diameter of the projectile in the neck of the case.
I’ve read the general rule is; seat the bullet in the diameter of the projectile. But this rule makes the projectile ridiculously short. Common sense tells me I need to seat enough to insure the projectile is held by the neck enough and is seating in straight. I’m also seating just before the canalure. I’m not going to crimp.

Any thoughts on this would be really helpful.

Cheers, Brent
