[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 2366694, member: 8873"] dirtydog, Where are you located, general area? If the ELDs don’t work out for you I may know where you can get quite a bit of those 180 Scirocco factory loads. Bullet seating depth can be a major factor in a rifle’s precision (groups). As an example: I have been trying to find an acceptable long range load for a newly rebarreled rifle. It was consistently shooting everything an inch or larger @ 100 yards. I tried several different powders and projectiles with the same results. My reamer has quite a bit of free bore to seat the 300 grain Bergers & Matchkings far out to maximize case capacity. I finally just shoved a bullet way down in the case after starting right off the lands and going incrementally in. The groups with 300 grain Bergers and Chinchagas are now well under .5” at 100 and I shot a group with my last few rounds at 400 and made a 1” clover. Need to load some more and make sure it wasn’t a fluke, then stretch it out…way out. [/QUOTE]
