What seating depth should I use with my Lee .358 cast boolit powder coated in my Ar-15 ?

I have been seating to what I call the crimp groove but have feeding problems. Oal length is like 2.190.

My thought is that if I seat deeper it might feed better?

Seat it flush where the unsupported nose starts if your throat is short. I have to seat mine to this last full diameter. Also make sure to size the bullet to 0.356" unless you have a 358 Legend barrel. If it is a regular 350L then 0.356" is the correct bullet diameter.

YMMV, but these are starting points

Also:
People will say if you PC, gas check is optional.
I have found GasChecked/ALOX'd is best performer
