[QUOTE="parshal, post: 2197187, member: 605"] Follow Berger's instructions on finding seating depth. It goes something like this: Load to maximum magazine length or whatever length will reliably feed in your rifle. If you can hit the lands before mag length use that measurement. Load three at that length and every .030" - .045" increment out to a total of about .140" off your initial measurement. Start shooting for accuracy. If the first two of your three don't group move to the next. You'll find one or even two of those distances will look better than the others. There are usually multiple places where they will shoot. The takeaway from the above procedure is being close to the lands isn't always the most accurate. You'll also have to chase that spot to keep accuracy there as someone mentioned above and as Erik talks about in his video. The farther away from the lands, usually, has a larger seating depth "node". [/QUOTE]
