[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1369418, member: 10291"] After working with more then a dozen rifles over the years that resulted in optimum seating depths ranging from .010” to .100 off the lands. Two of my most accurate rifles are .075” off the lands with JLK and Berger VLD’s. I like to initially run tests of 3-5 shot groups at .030” intervals. Once the tightest group is found, I may then try .005” intervals on either side of the best result from the initial test. Sensitivity to seating depth can vary depending on a particular barrel/bullet combo. The optimum seating depth has generally held for a given particular barrel/bullet regardless of my choice of powder, primer, or brass. As has been claimed, I have found the VLD’s to be far more sensitive to seating depth then the hybrid or conventional bullet designs. [/QUOTE]
