I've got them seated just touching the lands like using a berger VLD...is this acceptable practice with this pill?
 
Re: A-Max in the lands?

I run my amaxes at mag length in a factory chamber with submoa results. No need to run them to the lands.
 
Re: A-Max in the lands?

+1 on max mag length my gun did not like them touching,.005,.010 ex..... when i got to max mag length they started shooting well under .25 groups

Re: A-Max in the lands?

We seat touching (140/.260/Lothar-Walther/SAAMI chamber)), and it works.
 
Re: A-Max in the lands?

Never had mine work with them seated in the lands like the VLD's seem to like. Of all the calibers and sizes of Amax that I've used (about 8) they all have worked the best starting from at least 0.01" or more.
 
Re: A-Max in the lands?

Keep in mind that the closer you seat the bullet to the lands the higher the pressure gets typically. Obviously you want to be careful and work the load up. Tight fitting chambers usually benefit land touching bullets while my factory sloppy ass chamber works well in conjuction with mag length rounds.
 
Re: A-Max in the lands?

I run all my AMAX at about .010" off the lands. Works well.
 
Re: A-Max in the lands?

I run all mine moly'd and in the lands. 75's in the 223AI and 105's in the 243AI.
