[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1686392, member: 41338"] Been fiddling around with a Savage 6.5 Creed lately so I started working up a new load (Berger 140 gr. Hybrid Target). Loaded 8 bullets and determined max powder charge. Picked an arbitrary load a little below max load and went out to test rough seating depths. You can see how it didn't like the load closest to the lands. 5 shots per group really isn't enough data to say for sure what's going on but I see some vertical tendencies @ .130" jump, transitioning to diagonal tendencies @ .090" jump. I'll now do a powder charge workup using .100" jump. Hoping to blend the vertical and horizontal tendencies. It's just a 10X scope so some error is me. [/QUOTE]
