Seating depth - who bothers?
Just out of interest, who actually bothers sorting out a seating depth when playing with loads?
I've usually set a round at x length (yip- looks ok) and test powder from there.
Once I find a powder load that works and is accurate, job done
I havnt had a rifle that wont shoot well that way, not to say I won't ever own one.
What's the thoughts?

Minimum or max from the lands you mean?
My 308 is OVER 260 thou from the lands. Shoots 1/4"

0.01mm is less than 1/2 a thou (0.000394") so you're pretty tight tolerance there anyway.

That's just how you do it lol
Engineering is different. You USE it daily. A normal world person prob wouldn't

Yep you won't get to the lands with pointy pills and still fit the mag in a lot of rifles.
Try max mag fit length load a few up and shorter in say .2mm steps and hopefully one will stand out as a shooter. Of course it just might not like them.
