I've often wondered about the logic of loading bullets "into the lands". It would seem to me that you could seat a bullet from .02-.1 longer than the length to lands and it will be shoved back to the same seating depth when chambered, somewhere slighty pushed into the lands. I would think the only way you would achieve pushing your bullet into the lands beyond a slight amount would be to have excessive neck tension on your bullet which in itself is not inherent to accuracy. Additionaly the rate that you run your action would affect your resulting depth into the lands, so you would be introducing another variable into the process.


I know many people swear by it, and many are shooting competively, but it just simply doesn't add up on paper. Since the rifles I shoot are used in hunting situations I don't seat into the lands so I guess it's a mute point for me.
