Each has produced different results using the same bullet.
With the bolt seat method I feel I am actually jamming the bullet deeper into the lands or beyond a mere "touch". Which I now feel could be as much as .010" jam.
Have not tried the "glue-in" loc-tiite method.
So how about loc-tight on a modified case pushed in firmly then allowed to set up, That would relieve the bent plastic rod part and the jam in with a bolt part ?
I have everything here to do all 3 except the rifle. So I guess I will try all and pick one and as the guy in the video says do it the exact same way for the rest of my life.
Not trying to be funny just I hunt and zero with a little target practice throw in, I shoot 6arc and 6.5CM so I probably will come up with 1 or 2 rounds per cartridge and set up to do those forever.
Thanks for all to input .
Personally I feel that if your chamber has a tight throat as mine does a little jump does no harm and accuracy is great. In fact my rifle shoots best with short bullets seated to where the full diameter of the base of the bullet is even with the shoulder. Doing the same thing forever? Boring. Beyond that I don't think I would want to use ammo that jams into the rifling for hunting.
A lot of good info on here . I'll take what works for me and go with it. As for boring , once I get something I like I don't change unless something better comes along. BUT I do change up the places I go . Hunting Alabama, Georgia and SC so far ,my other hobby is fishing so far it's all over the US, Mexico and Brazil for their Peacock Bass.
Thanks for your input
