[QUOTE="Silly_Ghillie, post: 1659254, member: 107271"] if it were me (because I just went through this very same thing switching from 212 ELD-X to 215 hybrids) When seating your VLD's, do you notice any scraping or dragging on the bullet? I would load one as you previously did and then pull it out and look at the heal and seating surface. If you are dragging at all, you need to address the neck tension. I just went through this myself. My SD was 5.8 and my ES was 12, but my group was almost two inches. I decided to retry the load and noticed a weird feeling when seating the 215 grain berger hybrid into FC mil brass. The bullet was marred, so I beveled the edges of all of my brass and printed a .7 MOA group with six shots. the mouth of the brass was scraping into the bullet, causing inconsistent seating and tension. in my case, a couple of turns with the reaming tool on the case neck and problem solved.
