    I'd say harmonics being the main part.
    and My SAUM harmonics are affected more by head space than distance ti the lands it appears going by results so far

    I never jam as I never want a loose pill being left in there when a shot is not taken and you extract and powder every where

    I size everything so there is none (headspace) IE slight tension on closing.
    What are you finding with the SAUM leathel ?
    "Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.

    The bloke who writes for Greg Duley summed it up well...it must fit in the mag and chamber up flawlessly.

    I used to bother when I had rifles that had long enough mags to seat close to the rifling.
    Now I just seat to fit mag. In some cases its miles away form the lands, but still groups sub 0.5".
