[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1912409, member: 87243"] Berger designed the 215's as a hybrid ogive specifically so they wouldn't be as sensitive to seating depth. I know it's a long distance, but try seating them to function through the mag and shoot some, see how they do. Keep in mind you will want to reduce the charge compared to many you see listed on line. If those don't work, the 190 nosler ABLR, 178 hornady ELD-X, 180 Berger elite hunter, or 181 Hammer Hunter would all be some I would look at, depending on what you want to achieve. The Hammer will be long, but seating doesn't really seem to matter at all with them. Seat them to mag length. Many people get stuck in this mentality that you must be within .020" of the lands, and it's simply not the case. I have jumped many bullets, even Berger VLD's, up to .200" with success. [/QUOTE]
