Is it normal for the lands to touch the Ogive when seating the bullet at the recommended COL?
every bullet has a different profile, go back to Tac's instructions and try that, you will likely have to do that every time you change bullet and/or weight, don't worry about being less than the Max COL which is normally the dimension given.
