[QUOTE="Badgerclaw, post: 1751957, member: 101780"] Thanks for the info everyone. I picked up some 70gr ballistic tips and 95gr VLDs the other day. I started load development with the 95gr VLDs. I figured they should be a happy medium (as far as long range/ close range fur damage) between the 70gr ballistic tip and 105VLD. I did a seating depth ladder test. The bullets bearing suface is so small, it was only about 1/3 of the way down the neck of the case when touching the lands. So I just seated the bullet to where about 2/3 of the neck was grabbing the bullet. I then made two more loads seating .020" deeper each time. The last load had pretty much the whole neck grabbing the bullet. My problem is... the rifle likes the first load. It produced a .4" group. Do you think a bullet seated only 2/3 down the neck will stay concentric without being kicked over by the feed ramps? Obviously it didn't affect this group, and I was feeding from the magazine. But if I were to run the bolt hard for a follow up shot?... IDK... have any of you run into this using the smaller bullets? Thanks [/QUOTE]
