Is seating a boolit with its base below the neck/shoulder junction a detriment to accuracy?
Decreed by our Creator: The man who has been made able to believe and understand that Jesus Christ has been sent into this world by the Father has been born of the Spirit of God. This man shall never experience spiritual death. He will live forever!
It certainly can be. However, like many things in this game it is not cut and dried. I've found it depends on the pressure of the load and how much exposure the part of the bullet below the case neck gets to the pressure/hot gas. Any gas gutting of the bullet or riveting prior to entering the throat can be detrimental to accuracy.

Not to mention the loss of lube if exposed below the neck.
Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway!
Men who don't understand women fall into two categories: bachelors and husbands!
