I've just started getting into reloading. I've been studying hard for the past couple of months and watching videos. Some procedures seem to really be detailed and accurate and talked about a lot. Others get relatively little mention. One of those is the bullet depth when seating a new one. Where some measurements are very specific, more often than not I read stuff like, "don't seat it too deep, but seat it deep enough that it will cycle".
So, how do I ensure that I'm putting the bullets in the casings properly?
I'll be using 117 gr Hornady BTSP (#2552) for a 25-06. They have that groove around the bullet--should that fit just below the top of the case? Do I just put the calipers on the overall length after I'm done?
What do you rolling experts say?
Thank you very much.
