I have a Savage Desert Tactical in 6.5 Creedmoor ( I know, I know 
). Loading a 140 grain Elite Hunter. Limited to 2.86 in mag. 2.95ish puts me at the lands, so roughly. 090 off the lands ( I want to use the magazine).
My question is when doing a seating test, starting at the mag length, what intervals of increasing depth should I try? .015" steps (because its a hybrid design and therefore less sensitive to seating depth), .030", .040"?
I only have two other rifles with dbm and was always lucky enough to find a good seating depth that fit in the dbm using the "Berger method".
Any insights are greatly appreciated.
