[QUOTE="fishwater, post: 617457, member: 38378"] Wow, Thanks deriel [IMG]http://www.ifish.net/board/images/smilies/bowdown.gif[/IMG] Here is a little more background info: I am near max load on my .30-378. (117.5gr of Hodgdons US 869) but I am showing no pressure signs. I am running the new 200gr Barnes LRX's and they shoot pretty well. 3175 FPS AVG, and right around 1 moa (2" group at 200 3" group at 300, 4" at 400, give or take a little.....)

I was pretty happy with that in the past so have not experimented with seating depth on that rifle very much.
