Out of curiousity, what seating depth seems to provide best performance in your Sendero?

I guess what I'm wondering, is if there is something inherent about the 25-06 design, that requires a long jump to the lands for accuracy - or pressure control? I have noticed a lot of guys (myself included) report best performance, w/ a COL that leaves them w/ a jump of 0.050" - 0.150". I...

Have you found in your experience, that seating depth makes a lot of difference - w/ this cartridge? Thanks. Gary

I got interested in RL17 shortly after it was released. Only problem is that they did not release data for a number of likely candidate cartridges. Manufacturer tech support said IMR4350 data should work for most. At COL 3.185", I've found that RL17 49.0 / under either Nosler 115 B-Tips, or...

Fast / accurate (0.1 grain +/-) hand measured charging - during progressive operation of a 550B, does not have to be difficult. I zero my scale & set for desired charge weight, scoop powder w/ the appropriate Lee measure, finish off w/ a trickler, & dump straight into the plastic funnel as...

Ditto. Don't scrap the 550 - it's a good press, & fully capable. For the record, you can get enough leverage out of it, to rip the rim clean off the case - if that's your goal. Don't ask me how I know... Couple of suggestions. Make sure your cases are nice & CLEAN, before sizing. That would...

I personally like the method described in Post #18 of this thread: http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f28/measuring-bullet-seating-off-lands-56811/index3.html As mentioned, simplistic, but seems to work - w/ a minimum amount of drama. The top of the case neck forms a very clean - &...

Nice rig, for sure. Any additional thoughts on your choice scope, rings, & base? I've been considering the same combination, for a stainless 700 sporter that's coming together. Been looking at the Talley LWT Tacticals as well - Gary

Out of my 22" factory bbl Rem700 MTN 25-06, I've found Nos 100BT's over IMR4350 / 48.0 / COL 3.185", go into 0.5" at 100. Have not chrono'd this load, but the book says 3050 - 3100+/-. Accurate, but "seemed" kinda' light at the time. Nos 115BT's over RL17 / 48.0 / COL 3.185" go into 0.5", &...

New guy here. What I just started doing to determine COL to Lands, is first teflon tape (single layer w/ slight overlap) from the base up, the bullet in question. Next, I hand seat it in a clean / fired / unsized case. Slowly, fully chamber the round w/ the bolt, & then slowly extract the...
