Did I miss it or is all this talk happening without us knowing what brand, type, and weight of bullet the OP is using, and how far off the lands this bullet is currently loaded to?
Mr. TIA, could you please remind me what bullet you're using?
Do you know how far off the lands your current seating depth places it?
This'll help a lot giving you a good answer.
Cheers,
Rex

If you are shooting a VLD style bullet, OAL seems to be more important than with a standard cup and core bullet.
But yes, OAL can make a significant difference. Last weekend I went shooting with a new lot# of Berger VLD bullets, my first two groups were 11/2" I then did some measuring and found the ogive was .015" farther back on the new lot# I seated the bullets .015" farther out and next two groups were 1/4"......yes OAL can make a BIG difference

Tikkas are notorious for short magazines. I can’t load to the lands with any of them without surpassing mag length.
Don’t need to, though.

Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.
