[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1080707, member: 10291"] I agree with this. Those are tight groups and it's possible thst a single depth setting shot several times could show the same variation as seen in your targets. While this has not been the case with other calibers I own, my two 6.5x284's using both Berger and JLK 140's show less sensitivity to seating depth. I found I could keep my groups within .25MOA from in the lands to .080. I ended up choosng .075" off the lands because it's where I had the lowest ES, <12FPS, with both of my rifles. This checked out well, with concentric groups and good accuracy at 500 and 1000 yards. An added benefit of going further off the lands, if feasible, is that loaded rounds are less susceptible to being knocked out of concentricity. Seated to the lands, there is not much neck holding the boat tail 140's and care must be taken when handling them in the field.IMO [/QUOTE]
