Seems all mine end up with the first band right at the case mouth. Some claim a kiss is the place to be, but the only bullets I've ever shot that needed a kiss were 75 Amax.
I recommend STARTING with a load that uses the uppermost - towards the pointy end - band as if it were a cannelure, even to the point of putting a bit of crimp into that groove and 8 tmes out of ten that load is among the best. IF that does not work, then I try .010 off and .050 off. If none of those shoots well, I MIGHT try one or two more loads, but most likely I will figure the barrel to be too dainty or sensitive or picky or finicky or whatever term you want to use. But in essence I am thinking new barrel rather than spend a whole lot more time and energy on it. Rarely do I have to use other than the top uppermost band with a crimp.
