[QUOTE="barefooter56, post: 1118114, member: 85389"] Ok. The seating depth testing you used is actually for our VLD hunting and target bullets. Try the 215 Hybrid target testing starting on the lands and working back in .005 increments. You want to do this at the lowest powder charge listed for the bullet/powder/cartridge combination you are testing for. Once you find the seating depth accuracy node then work your load back up to find your velocity accuracy node. Now the 215 is a TARGET HYBRID bullet and has a thicker jacket than our hunting bullets so we really do not recommend it as a hunting round even though many hunters have had good success with it. Also that success has been in the magnum cartridges . You may want to stick with the CLASSIC HUNTER as it seems to be working very well for you. On our website under the HUNTING tab you can find targets of different types of game that have shaded ares showing where we suggest bullet placement. And you can print them out for practice also.
