7mm WSM: just checking...

[Muir]

I have a rifle that shoots kissing the lands,but to be fair that's how I had it chambered with zero free bore,Ive never come across another rifle in the same calibre that shoots like it

And that's the crux of it: What kind of chamber the rifle has. My BR guns were seated to kiss the lands because that's the way they were made. They also had tight necks and the bullet was seated to the base of the neck while kissing the aforementioned lands. I have a CZ Hornet with so much freebore that a 35 grain bullet barely hangs into the case (the scenario you mentioned in an earlier post) so I seat it deep and crimp it. Under half MOA. My 7x57 was built the same way and I give it the same treatment. Shoots in the same .5MOA area. My Hart custom barreled Howa .223 gets the bullets seated to the base of the neck and it shoots tiny bug-hole groups. It all depends on the likes of the gun and how it was made.~Muir

As Muir realised I was being flippant ................................. having a laugh which I do on occasion.
