[QUOTE="timberelk, post: 1406688, member: 100952"] Was just about to load up some progressively hotter loads to go try to shoot at the range tomorrow. But I got to looking at the nosler book and they said with the BT bullet and varget, the most accurate load was with 38 grains. So it should be fairly accurate in my gun I would think Well last weekend I shot 6 or 7 of 38 grains and 6 38.5 grains and they produced the below groups (ignore the words new and old and the large 50 cal bullet holes). So approx 2” group and I got to thinking instead of messing with the powder what if I keep the powder around 38.5 or 39 and started to mess with the seating depth because it will result in potentially dramatic grouping difference? My lands are approx .25” from the nosler OAL. So I can’t get close to the lands but I can start with .020” farther out, then maybe -.020” (closer in) and then maybe .040” farther out and then maybe -.040” (closer in). What’s your guys thoughts?
