[QUOTE="TexSavage, post: 1947072, member: 6245"] I’m curious how deep you are seating 300 WSM? Is the bullet below the case neck : shoulder? [/QUOTE] I'll measure tonight, but yes it's down a ways. I can tell you in my Savage 12 BVSS I have no pressure signs and my groups have stayed around a .5-.6 MOA at 550 yards. I shot at Whittington a month ago and my 1K groups vertically were 1 MOA to 1.25 MOA. Now me reading the wind was a challenge, which I'm working on. My overall was 2.25 MOA on 27 of 31 on Target. Not trying to say anything but that the seating depth seems to have only the slightest effect. I really dropped my COAL when I got my Oryx chassis. Before the Oryx, I was loading at the same point as the 190 VLD Berger off of the ogive. This relegated my rifle to a single shot or two shot at best. Once I got the Oryx and the MDT metal mags I did extensive testing in getting below 2.950 OAL so it would work with the MDT magazines in my rifle. My SD has been less than 8 and my ES is 7, shot in October of last year with the current settings for 215 depth. I did a lot of testing with various brass to get my load. I use the Nosler/Norma brass now exclusively. Gives me best ES by a mile. I can say the 215 Hybrid has not been finicky in any way in regards to seating depth and consistency.
