[QUOTE="TRyan, post: 1165985, member: 94540"] Thanks for the help and comments. I took your advice about dropping off the powder a couple grains and spread the seating depth test out to bigger jumps. I loaded for .010 jump, .025 jump, and .040 jump, 2 groups of 3 shots for each depth. I did shoot two more 3 shot groups of .010 jump with the hotter load I had made up as well, after finding that my rifle seemed to like that jump the best. None shot terrible as all groups were better than 1 moa. But the clear winner is the seating depth around .010 off the lands, with group sizes at .321 moa, .556, .749, and .956 moa. I did get a pretty sweet group at .025 jump too, at .5 moa. Still need to get a chrono and figure out max pressure and velocities. Is it safe to assume most people end up loading their rounds right at or above maximum recommended powder levels, keeping safety in mind of course? Thanks, Tim [/QUOTE]
