[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1508953, member: 33159"] Just an FYI that I learned from guys on the Nosler forum. The BT's and Accubonds like jump. Typically 0.070-0.100" from the lands. The Partition likes to be close to the lands. I usually seat them my max mag length unless I can get them 0.020" from the lands. When I made these adjustments with Nosler bullets, they all shot much better. Where I typically set my length now is to the most concentric length. With a flat base bullet like a Partition, it's where the base of the bullet is at the neck/shoulder junction of the brass. With a boat tail bullet, it's the junction of the boat tail/base with the neck/shoulder junction of the brass. I did a lot of seating depth tests in the past, and what I found was the best seating depths were like I described above. Some of the long VLD bullets won't allow me to do this and fit the round in my mag, so I'll go with max mag length in that case or not use that particular bullet at all. [/QUOTE]
