[QUOTE="Tiny Tim, post: 2917415, member: 87887"] I have a Savage Desert Tactical in 6.5 Creedmoor ( I know, I know 😉). Loading a 140 grain Elite Hunter. Limited to 2.86 in mag. 2.95ish puts me at the lands, so roughly. 090 off the lands ( I want to use the magazine). My question is when doing a seating test, starting at the mag length, what intervals of increasing depth should I try? .015" steps (because its a hybrid design and therefore less sensitive to seating depth), .030", .040"? I only have two other rifles with dbm and was always lucky enough to find a good seating depth that fit in the dbm using the "Berger method". Any insights are greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
