Hey!
It's me again trying to do my first batch of .30-30 Win cartridges.
At first I didn't think too much about the seating depth for my .30-30: I was thinking "oh well there is a crimp groove so I'll just seat the bullet according to the groove".
Well... turns out it still leaves quite some space...
Below are 3 of the manufactured .30-30 Win bullets I usually buy. You can see that:
1. On the first (top) bullet, we don't see the crimp groove at all
2. On the second (middle) bullet, we see the crimp groove very slightly
3. On the third (bottom) bullet, we see the crimp groove pretty clearly
What's the right way to seat the bullet? No crimp groove visible at all? Half of it visible?
Will this have any noticeable effect in the accuracy of the cartridge?
Thanks!
