Curious if there's a trend in user's load development for accuracy relating to how much jump for Berger 300 EH bullets. I've got them @ 2830 fps w/ RL33 a grain below psi, just looking for recommendations on seating depth testing. Thanks!
 
338lm
93.0 retumbo
215m
Lapua brass
Mv 2740
.062 jump
26" Benchmark carbon barrel
Shooting.75-.5 MOA regularly

Same bullet in a 24" Barrett 338 Mrad
.034 jump shoots .75moa

On both rifles I didn't load any closer than .020 jump. The benchmark seemed to respond to seating depth change much more than the Barrett. The Barrett shot pretty much the same at from .020-.050
