[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 941977, member: 10755"] After shooting many thousands of rounds at paper targets, I feel too much emphasis is placed on how far the bullet is from the rifling. Any cartridge will have several seating depths that are accurate, it's all due to barrel oscillation, the distance the bullet is to the rifling changes this which effects accuracy. A large bullet jump is NOT detrimental to accuracy, my Weatherby cartridges all have large jumps and are exceptionally accurate, benchrest techniques are NOT gospel or needed for accuracy. I would suggest you load to your mag length, try .010" shorter for some room to play and see how accurate it shoots, if not to par, try seating DEEPER in .005" increments until you find an accurate COAL.
