[QUOTE="jb1000br, post: 95059, member: 1459"] Duff -- square to rectangular mark on the bullets from the lands is nice. When you know you are in the lands you can keep seeting the bullet incrementally deeper till the marks go away. I personally prefer 20 thou in or off, not much in between. When in the lands you will have to chase them as they erode, but it aint too hard. Load up 3 rounds each of: current depth +0.003 +0.006 +0.009 and maybe 12thou long if it is more than a couple hundred rounds. When you shoot these at 200yds or more you will see a nice pattern that will point to the best depth (large...then shrinking groups, then they'll open up again) pick the length with the best group. My 6.5 did this one day at 200yds +3thou = 0.075 (yea, 75thou) +6thou = 0.210 +9thou = 0.700 I stuck with the 0.075 obviously. IIRC, the 3 shot group at current depth was around .25 or so.
