That will work. With hunting bullets I usually start them .002 off the lands except for some VLDs. I don't like the bullets jammed or engraved for hunting use, too easy to get one stuck.

Mine is seated for 175 Matchkings so has a slight freebore with lighter bullets. Works fine though. Barnes and others like a big jump.
