[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 912814, member: 61747"] Forgot to mention that I am unsure if I should body size or just neck size the fired cases. I am trying to develop a method that is consistent and easy to follow so that consistent accuracy follows. Also, this new rifle throat is way different then my other savage 6.5-284. Seating to the lands on the new rifle is 2.537 vs my old rifle at 2.582. That is a difference of .045. Consequently that means the bullet is seating .045 deeper to start and it might not be problematic to seat to the lands, however, that bothers me for a hunting rifle. The picture above shows potential at .000 off the lands and I did not test seating into or just out of the lands. I did try .010 and it didn't care too much for it. Sorry if this seems like a weird post and questions: I am just not sure what to do. I think I should explore 56 gr and .075 off the lands to see if .25MOA is really a consistent load or not. .050 and 57 seems doable and give .5 MOA at 100 and 200. 56.5 at .000 seems like .5 MOA as well.
