in the 223 or 22.250 I don't seat the 40 grain V max or Ballistic Tips, very deep into the case...
I do a light roll crimp on them, and make sure they will chamber.. if not, I seat the bullet a hair deeper..

but with the 40s, that is seldom the case...

actually I'm heading off to the garage to handload 20 rounds of the 40 V Max in a 22.250 case...
with 19 grains of Blue Dot as the load...

Load development for a new scope being mounted on top...

Stevens 200, truck gun....
