[QUOTE="Joefrazell, post: 1392318, member: 101262"] So I went to magnum primers. Remington 9.5 magnum. I went to the range with some h1000 and retumbo loaded I to hornady cases .020 off the lands with the 212 eldx and accuracy was not good. Groups were 1.5 moa on average still and this was with 3 shot groups. Went home decided to bump them back to .135 off the lands and accuracy went to 1.5-2 moa. Decided today to run a seating depth test as my final attempt with 75.5 gr of retumbo as it was the best in the testing with retumbo and ive got alot of the powder and don't currently use it in any loads. I tried touching the lands which is 3.655 then I tried 3.590, 3.560 and then 3.480. I know those are kinda random but I was skipping lengths I've already tested. Shooting was at 104 yrds Here's the results 3.655 oal- (touching the lands)- 3 shots-1.575 moa 3.590 oal- 3 shots-1.746 moa 3.560 oal- 3 shots- 1.830 moa 3.480 oal- (5 shots)- 1.125 moa (4 of them were .629 moa) I only shot the others 3 because when 3 shots are 1.5 moa the testing is done. So its definite that the 212 eldx is sensitive to seating depth in my 300 win mag. This load now shows some promise and I will now run ocw testing with h-4831, h-1000 and retumbo with this huge jump of .175". I'll keep everyone posted. Will be cool if I can get a bullet to shoot 1/2 moa that initially was shooting 1.5 or greater. [/QUOTE]
