Keep in mind that all my work was based upon an AR platform. With grooved bullets, I typically seat to 2.26 COL (overall is one word) and then seat deeper enough to get the nearest groove to line up with the mouth. That way, I could taper crimp down into the groove. Really helped keep bullets from pulling, due to momentum when chambering. Same applies to bullets with cannelures.
