    Projectile Bearing Surface vs neck contact vs jump to lans

    Got some of the new 120 gn speer gold dots to try as a hunting round in the 6.5 creedmoor
    Playing with seating depths today and I can drop a projectile in then chamber a case with only about 0.01 Bearing surface in the neck so Obviously going to have a massive jump to the lans

    But just how much bering surface needs to be in the neck
    To make a good Reliable load a mate told be he always has at least a projectile diameter of bering surface in the neck
    But in this case that would be a .264” jump to lans
    Which is massive

    What’s your options
