[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 894636, member: 22069"] Thanks, everyone, for your input so far on what has worked well for you with CEB's. I really like the potential offered by these bullets and I hope that I will be able to figure out how to make them work in my rifle. The bore rider/seal tite band design is unlike anything I have ever used before and that has posed challenges to me in terms of understanding how the bullets behave and how to proceed in load development. In my limited work with the CEB's, as has been noted by others, it has appeared to me that they do not seem to be sensitive to powder charge. I haven't been sure what needed to be done with seating depth either. I have noted with interest comments that indicate lots of jump as being desirable AND that the window for preferred seating depth is so small. I will tinker with that a bit and go from there. I also find the comments about CEB's being especially sensitive to bore diameter and runout to be noteworthy. I will do more research on those topics as well. I also typically do my initial testing and workup at 100 yards, then test my final load at longer ranges to verify its performance and tweak if needed. Has anyone found that CEB's need distance to "go to sleep"? Thanks, again, to all of you for sharing your experiences with CEB's. I truly appreciate your advice. [/QUOTE]
