[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1034480, member: 22069"] No. 2.350 - 2.390 - 2.430 - 2.470. Counterclockwise from the lower right corner. This test represented a slight departure from normal for me because I normally start at the lands and work backward. With long bullets in larger caliber rifles, that is normally pretty simple to do. With the 53 VMAX, COAL to the rifling measured 2.510. I wasn't comfortable seating the bullet that far out, so I started at SAAMI length and worked my way forward. When I have followed my adaptation of the Berger test, the most accurate seating depth comes in at .040" or .080" from the rifling most of the time. [/QUOTE]
