[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 975988, member: 74902"] STOP!!!!! You have a nice custom rifle. It is not a GOOD IDEA to do a seating depth test with a MAX LOAD. WHY? Believe it or not... pressure can increase not only by seating into the lands, but can also increase as you compact the powder/air in the case more by setting the bullet deeper into the case. If I were you. I would try a different brand of bullet. One more forgiving. Then move back to the Berger VLDs once you have the rifle figured out. Who knows maybe the rifle just will not shoot the VLDs. That is not so uncommon. I would try some 180 Nosler Ballistic tips. They shoot great in a variety of 30 cals. Start 20 thou off the lands using the load data from the Nosler website. You have to get some sort of baseline to gauge improvement..:) [/QUOTE]
