[QUOTE="highfinblue, post: 1236957, member: 67530"] OK I left the house this morning before anyone had replied so I loaded nine instead of twenty four and started at .010 under then .050 and .090 with three of each. In my mind I couldn't imagine very many rifles shooting the VLD's seated at .130" under the lands. Like I said, I'm trying to cut a few corners as my time is kinda tight right now. I weigh every load, have Redding competition seater and used 56 grains of Retumbo. All three seating depths shot under one inch, but the .090" was a hole that only two bullet holes could be seen and they were really tight. I didn't measure it, but I'm sure I've never shot a better three shot group at one hundred yards. My chrony is old, but in the past has been very reliable, but my question is the spread with each group was 50 fps. How on earth can you get a one hole group when the bullets are traveling at such different speeds? I'm not a bench rest shooter at all, but I do shoot off a totally solid bench with bags, my scope is a nf nxs 5.5-22 mounted with nf 20 moa base and nf rings all torqued to factory specs so I can see what I'm shooting at, but isn't that unusual, and how can I tighten up the spread in velocity?
