[QUOTE="Overkill338, post: 1662539, member: 110473"] For me, I had been reloading for my rifles, but just doing ladder tests for pressure, etc. I had been reading about bullet seating depths, and had just made me a "mic cartridge" to find the lands on a Remington 700 VTR .22-250. I was having some pretty good luck with Vmax bullets, and I had some 52 grain Amax that I just started working with. So I took my most accurate load to date, and adjusted the seating depths. I had 5 rounds loaded that were just kissing the lands. I decide to fire the first shot high to warm the barrel. The next shot hit the target, then the next 3 cut a slot in the target. That's when it really hit me, that it is definitely more than weighing charges accurately. It also made me realize how fun the hobby is! Here is the target in question. [ATTACH=full]139384[/ATTACH] You can see the old VTR here with my Savage 14 .325, Ruger MKII 7mm RM and Ruger MKII 300 WM. [ATTACH=full]139385[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
