Thanks.
When the bullet seats, the marker ink will be scraped off, allowing you to see where the bullet seated when it touched the lands. Measure it at that, then seat it a bit deeper, up to you how much. Make sure loaded cartridge fits in magazine. Of course if you are loading for a weatherby, it is probably free bored, so usually seat the bullets just so they fit in the magazine.
