[QUOTE="LocalJW, post: 2612473, member: 121012"] Update: Hello, I performed a seating depth test on my rifle and bullets following this article below off a bench with a lead sled based support @ 100 yards. [URL unfurl="true"]https://bergerbullets.com/vld-making-shoot/[/URL] Rifle: Bergara B14 Wilderness Ridge 6.5prc Scope: NF NX8 4-32x50 Bullets: 6.5mm Berger 156g EOL Nosler Brass CCI 200 Primers 54.5gr RL26 My process: Shot 1st 3 Shot group of each bullet. The better of the group i then shot the 2nd group of 3 bullets. 1s are labeled over first shot groups. 2s are labeled over 2nd shot groups. Attached are the results after following the seating depth test. Some groups I only shot 2 bullets due to being such a large spread and already not liking the results it showed. It appears that 2.254 (.120 off lands) is the most consistent. Not an amazing group but consistent. The dots are 5/8" dots. I have not officially measured all bullets groups yet. 2.240 OAL did shoot consistent but not as tight as the 2.254. How would you analyze and what would be your advice? Would you start making powder charge loads on the 2.254 OAL or would you look into a different powder and look better (tighter groups). All advice appreciated. [/QUOTE]
