[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 893492, member: 61747"] I have not looked into the die. Does it change expansion characteristics at all? In regard to the freebore. Good point. Except my rifle loves .075 to .100 off the lands. It settles in really well at .100 for both 140 and 160's. I quit arguing with it and just deal with it. ha ha Bearing surface is an interesting point. I can get berger targets to fly fast and accurate with seating closer to the lands with a shorter bearing surface. The surface of the 140 hunting is slower and needs to be seated deeper in case. Not sure I understand the science on this one but it was an interesting find while breaking and tuning my rifle. Good feed back about the FPS, accuracy, and density. I never tested the smaller pills personally. I just went with the highest BC and worked on accuracy and speed. No real world experience just computer modeling. [/QUOTE]
