There's no reason to seat to a cannelure. They are put on bullets where they expect the most use. For example, consider commercially made 303 bullets. Seating the bullet to the cannelure will virtually guarantee proper chambering for the Lee Enfield. For most commercial bullets though, most notably 308 diameter ones, cannelures are often there for the 308 Win. There's no danger or accuracy problems when you do not seat them at the cannelure.

I don't know if my counterfeiter is in business anymore. Some of it was my fault. I didn't realize that someone would do that. Especially when you consider that the design had to go through various phases in order to come out right.

That wasn't the first time that stuff has been lifted from my site. 20 odd years ago, I posted an article and a picture about the difference between 308 and 7.62 NATO chambers. The picture migrated over to the Dean Speir's website, The Gun Zone, in the late 1990s.

There have been others who use things I have written, but asked if it was okay. www.6mmBR.com for example. https://www.6mmbr.com/308Win.html - .308 Win vs. 7.62x51--The Straight Scoop

This particular article has made the rounds on the Interwebs. http://www.303british.com/id36.html The picture "Long Chambers" has been copied a lot.
