[QUOTE="bookworm, post: 312701, member: 13840"] I did run them over a chrony. They were all pretty similar on average. I have some of the 3 shot groups pretty tight with ES around 10, and I have some that are more up around 30. There does not seem to be a correlation between group size and velocity ES. What kind of ES should I be looking for as being reasonable for what I'm trying to do? I'm wondering if I should fire a few more with the Bergers touching the lands? I have heard that they like to be touching or in the lands, but I followed the process outlined by the fella that posted an article that works for Berger. Or, would you go ahead and work on the powder load with one of these seating depths and then tweak seating depth once I find powder charge. I'd like to keep shooting until I find something that gets me to 0.5moa, but I don't think I have the time and frankly I'm not sure this particular rifle is capable. And while I don't want to think this...perhaps it is me that is not capable of shooting .5 moa consistently. [/QUOTE]
