Even with many experienced shooters, some here too. The opinions vary about seating a particular bullet, a particular way but nothing I have ever seen is absolute.
Long throats and excessive runnout can't be good together, if the round is straight and symmetrical a long throat is ok. I am stating this and asking at the same time.
My personal bias is a bullet should seat to the bottem of the neck and the neck should be symmetrical.
The cartridge case's DNA duplicated exactly.
If the case is true it is a fine starting point to start with
A CNC machined bullet should have an advantage too.
This is my theory, but how then does a 200.00 Savage rifle with cheap 20.00, factory stuff sometimes make all the this moot?
Clear as mud and Happy Father's Day, folks.
I enjoy the chatter.
