[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2006059, member: 87243"] They generally tend to shoot well at two locations, within .015" of the lands, and some other .020"-.030" window farther off the lands. Sometimes the closer one shoots better, sometimes the farther one does. Generally, I just load them .010" off, run a pressure test to find max pressure and a flat spot, then load a ladder through the flat spot and shoot them at 600 or so yards and I'm done, but I have loaded them in several 7mm mags, so I know them pretty good. I have had a couple that I ran a seating depth test like Berger said, and have had a few that shot good farther, one liked .055" off and another shot really well at .100" off. But like I said, almost all of them did just fine when I loaded them up at .010" off. If you want to play around, run a seating depth test. If you just want to get a quick load, load .010" off and go. [/QUOTE]
