I was always told that for best accuracy a bullet should just "kiss" the rifling rather than leap into it. The opposite of free bore.

Yep, that's what I heard too, but I never did it except once with some .30 cal Barnes X bullets in 30-06. They didn't shoot well at all anyway, so I never bothered with again.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.-Thomas Jefferson
IMPEACH THE KENYAN!!!
Sounds like a lot for a 243.
The last one I shot, I hit a dime at 100yds with both Rem and Win bullets. I didn't know I could shoot that good.
243's and factory bullets are the most accurate combos I've ever shot.
oh, congrats on the new rifle. It sounds very nice indeed.
'Cause we still play that same game yet,

Sabre- That is what Herne's advice was for keeping things simple. To load for the velocity you want, with the bullet you want, and vary seating depth to get the barrel harmonics right.
Pressures may be higher if you load a bullet to be touching the lands. Some do it, but start well below book max and work up if that is what you want to try.
