Sheister Campfire Outfitter Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 7,988 Likes: 3 Oregon	Originally Posted by Tanner Originally Posted by keith Originally Posted by JBO69 How about trying to build one gun to do it "all". That contributes to some of the previous comments. This is the most common mistake by far. The next is to throat the barrel for the longest bullet for that caliber. Throating for the longest bullet of the caliber (assuming we are talking VLD type bullets here) is actually a pretty sound idea, in my mind, if you plan on shooting those types of bullets. If I make sure a 180gr Berger VLD will fit in the magazine box while touching lands, that guarantees that anything with a shorter ogive will also. Not seeing how that is a mistake, much less a commonly made one. Tanner Because you can always seat a heavy bullet deeper if necessary, you can't always seat a shorter bullet out far enough to touch the lands as necessary. Accuracy in many rifles depends on having the ogive close to the lands. Never underestimate your ability to overestimate your ability.
