[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1009845, member: 50867"] You've already demonstrated that it isn't universally true that seating a bullet on or into the lands produces good results. Some rifles, especially commercially produced standards, reveal excellent results with a jump like that .040 example you describe. I do believe you need some chrono data to determine the ES but IMO, unless you can't hold an ES below 12 (preferably below 10) with a load between 69 and 70 grains, you're pretty much home with a .5 MOA five shot group at that seating depth. Do the chrono workup ... let's see what the ES data reveals. Be sur to use a good quality chrono and double check conditions so you don't get false outputs. [/QUOTE]
