Like I said in my previous post.  Seat them .15" off the lands.  Keep backing it off until you hit the sweet spot.

I just went through and read all my post,I didnt say I was shooting the .300 with col at 3.340 I checked to see where the lands are and they are at 3.514 so my loads are .174 0ff the lands.Ok.Now my question is can this long of a distance from the lands cause bad groups?

It is a Ruger Mark II.  It shot fine at factory oal but liked to be long.

Your cartridge liked to be long or the distance to the lands liked to be long?

All depends on the load/gun combo.  I am working up a load in a .280 Rem and the winning combo was right at printed oal.  Trial and error and you will find it.  Seems like large for caliber bullets like 180 and up in the 30cal like to be seated long though for the most part.

I load from 168 gr to 190 gr in my 300wm.  Also, I don't pay attention to the 3.34 oal......I load to get close to the lands and that may be  out to 3.60 or so.
This answered it for me thank you curly.  :tup:

     Ill try this again.My lands are way of the factory c.o.l, .174 to be exact that is almost 3/16 of an inch.How much will this play in the accuracy of a Rem. mod. 700 .300 win mag rifle?

The answer is, there is no right answer.  It could be the reason or powder choice could be the reason.  Or powder charge in relation to seating depth could be the issue.  Only way to find out is to experiment until you find the winning combo.

I have several rifles that don't like to be close to the lands.  Just all depends on the combo
