[QUOTE="Mark37082, post: 2402825, member: 120066"] It sounds like you are following Scott Satterlee’s 10 Shot ladder test. I’m trying this method as well on a couple of rifles. First of all the 308 is one of those rifles where there are so many powders that will work really well. You can burn out barrel by the time you test all the combinations of powder, bullets, seating depth, primers, brass, etc. However, that’s more than half the fun of it to me. My 308 liked 4064 with varget, and IMR4895 being reasonably close using a sporter pencil barrel on a Browning HC Speed. I’m no expert, but I would try try both flat spots to see if I would get a reasonable ES and accuracy before moving to tinkering with seating depth IMHO. [/QUOTE]
