Howdy,
New to PP, I've read many of the threads posted and can't find a specific answer. Here it goes:
I have an NOE copy of the Saeco #315. Made up some test patches and depending on how far up the bearing surface I go, the boolit requires very deep seating to chamber. Am I asking for disaster if I leave a fair amount of bore riding bare lead? Looking to produce fairly warm loads (~2000-2200fps). For reference the top dining band is .3015" and is well engraved as setup for lube and gas check. Picture: center cartridge has patch tucked into the first grease groove. Right cartridge as I normally load for this gun. Left cartridge patched all the way up the bearing surface, note deep seating required to chamber. I wet patched these and ran through a .311" sizer with a pinch of lube after drying over night. Mold print link:

Question 2: Assuming any of the above works, can good accuracy be had with long bore riding noses such as the Lyman 311299?
