Like I said in my original comment.

I'll seat them like the top one, (30-06,) then measure. If the next batch of bullets are a bit off like the 30-30 case on the bottom, I'll leave it alone. But if it further off than that I'll seat it like the top and call it good.

The pic I provided is displaying the exact bullet you list, it is in a 30-06 case at the seating depth the 7th Edition Hornady loading manual prescribes for that bullet; 3.230, fits perfectly,
shoots wonderfully!

Where are you getting these notions? I get less than half inch groups seated in the cannelure, just as in the pic I have displayed.
There is no magical property of "Max COL" as far as accuracy. Not exceeding the "Maximum COL" is to assure magazine operation.
Check this out:
That is a COL of 3.468! Will not work in a magazine, but the accuracy is wonderful in my M-1917.
