That will leave you crammed against the lands and if its not crimped in might be seating slightly when you close the bolt. Some guns actually like this though.Before I gave it up I would try a seating depth with a little jump to the lands and maybe shoot a ladder of half grain increments to find a sweet spot. Sometimes you can just put a different or mag primer in and it does better. But, usually those CCI 250s do well.Me personally, I would probably grab that can of 4350 you mentioned and try some 165 and 180s. That powder is amazingly consistent in a broad range of things I have tried. And try a spitzer flat base first. You don't get any meaningful advantage from a boat tail until after 300yds anyway. Sometimes guns including mine just like flat based bullet.Just some thoughts trying to help. You will find it, I know you will.I am heading to the range myself tommorrow same caliber(and others), I have found a load but now just tinkering with OAL slightly before I crank a bunch out. I borrowed the neighbors shooting sled as I just had a 6x6 block of wood and a coat jacket last time, Plus I need to check for pressure problems in warmer weather with the stuff I am using just for safety sake before I do a bulk loading.</blockquote>
