That all depends......how much freebore is I your chamber? There are some loads that will benefit from being "jammed"I thought most accurate loads were ones that were ~.002 - .015
off the lands and that touching them is usually not good because it can cause pressure spikes or stuck bullets that can’t be ejected.
Mines older and says Stoney Creek on it.This is what I used

The bigger issue I see, is, the bullet seating deapth has a certain affect on case volume. Seat that bullet to deap dangerous chamber pressure. Seat the bullet to far out, dangerous because not enough pressure to push the bullet with any affect.
Now guys who "jam" say, a bullet starts moving u till it hits the rifling, then stops, and starts moving again. By "jamming" you build case pressure and the bullet moves down the barrel in one motion

Some loads like some jump, some loads like some jam.
I did the 10 shot load development test, and called it a day. And my load just flat hammers at 600 yards.
