[QUOTE="britz, post: 288261, member: 7865"] Some bullets are going to be more touchy about seating depth than others. There are two kinds of ogive's that bullets have... Tangent and Secant. Most hunting bullets are tangent ogive such as Nosler Accubonds, balistic tips... Some like the Hornady A-max and the Berger VLD hunting bullets are Secant ogive meaning that the shape of the bullet is more streamlined and yield a higher ballistic coefficient. The Secant Ogive bullets will preform much better if they are seated in their "slot" which may be a few thousandths wide and with .03 or so of your rifleing. There is a great "sticky" from Berger bullets on the site that describes how to load test Berger VLD's. the guys from Berger wrote it up. Playing with seating depth will yield a more accurate load with virtually every rifle bullet combination, but some will shoot better with a little jump, AKA freebore. [/QUOTE]
