[QUOTE="woods, post: 852591, member: 6042"] IME seating depth does have an effect on ES and SD. My question would be, how much did you vary your seating depth between loads? For example, in my 6.5 rem mag (26" Douglas barrel tight necked) I did a seating depth test with 130 gr SSII's starting at .015" off and varied by .015" to .090" and it gave the following results .015" off - ES 31, SD 11.67 .030" off - ES 31, SD 11.70 .045" off - ES 23, SD 9.80 .060" off - ES 8, SD 4.00 .075" off - ES 27, SD 11.40 .090" off - ES 52, SD 31.70 [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/TARGETS/1211-1.jpg[/IMG] So seating depth can make a huge difference in ES & SD. Most just don't like to seat that far off the lands, hence my question as to how much you varied between seating depth loads [/QUOTE]
