[QUOTE="liltank, post: 387583, member: 13275"] Well, don't know if you chased my other thread or not, but I tried some really deeper seating depths due to some advice from guys shooting really well at 1000yrd benchrest competition. They suggested seating VLD type bullets to depths of .080" to .100" from the lands. I did that and my results are a dead g-hog at 648yrds and 1.550" at 300yrds on paper. Maybe try seating some at .050", .075", .100" and .125" from the lands. You might find a magical spot. My cousin got the same results with his 338 Lapua and 300grn SMK's. He had a hard time getting them to group and now they are shooting pretty tight. One guy suggested touching the lands with virgin brass, full sizing every time, and seating deep after the first firing. So far so good for me. Just out of curiosity, the three shots touching in the first group.... were they the first three shots? I'm thinking you may have some heat stringing. Tank [/QUOTE]
