[QUOTE="dsculley, post: 1235372, member: 77514"] When I started working up loads with the Berger VLD for my 6.5x47, I seated to .070 off the lands as this had worked well in my 7mm RemMag. I just ran a seating depth test last weekend and found that my groups closed up at .060 off the lands. They opened up quickly on either side of this seating depth. The Bergers usually have a wide node for seating depth, but this one seems to be fairly narrow. If I had run the standard Berger seating depth test I may have missed it. When loading up for the test, I decided to test each side of .070 more in depth. Partly out of curiosity, partly just to have more rounds to shoot. I was shooting 5 shot groups, and at .060 off the lands I had all 5 shots touching/overlapping. [/QUOTE]
