those that have a chamber and throat 'designed' to fit a particular bullet shape my have an advantage and ability to place the depth of engraving at their chosen place. Great if you have a rifle rebarreled, but for us who enjoy getting what we can from a variety of factory chambers the old advice and practice is simply going to need experiments. Call it fun, and keep track of the results it can be a great teacher for the given tube, but some may pertain to another down the road. The big idea is to have fun even if you don't match that dedicated bench gun's ability. Works for me.

I don't have one rifle with a special throat for one particular bullet. Don't understand the concept either. Have heard shooters talk about it.

I don't know whether this will work for everyone. but I seat my bullets, regardless of type, like a stopper. Then I put in a primed case (no powder) and pop the cap.  If I just get a little pop, I open the block and the case ejects smartly from the store pressure.  Adjustment finished! Mark your seater and lock adjustment.

kinda my point, Joe, what I'm saying is with a bit of looking the ordinary stuff might be as good as the most expensive and scientific version out there. You shoot those rifles proudly, now, don't ya hear?

Froggie,

When did you shoot your last match and report the score? Just curious if it was in the smokeless era.

I remember when Chuck Bordman was blowing primers at Spokane. His Manley Oakley breech seater went out of adjustments so the bullets were not fully seated. Caused gas cutting damage to his Hoch breech block. 

A lot of times it was Chuck who was out of adjustment but that time it was a his breech seater.
