Thread: Seating depth dilemma

Thanks all - seems to be a pretty clear consensus there. Yes @grandpamac, I noticed the projectile was in pretty deep at mag length and wondered about case capacity and also the problem discussed in the recent “loose projectile” thread.

The rifle is intended to be a longer range tops / tahr hunting rig, hence the pointy projectiles. I don’t actually mind the idea of single-feeding too much, I can always have a soft-point in the mag for a follow-up shot if required.

Also not many factory loads available to try in this calibre, and those that are are bloody spendy. Have tried Fed Fusions & PowerShoks and Hornady Precision Hunters. All shot okay but nothing special.

I might stick up a photo of a dummy round loaded to mag length next to a couple of factory rounds and see what you guys think, but it sounds like I should be okay.
