[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2210721, member: 9299"] Agreed. We've seen this on several occasions with long VLD type bullets, for sometimes, they do not "go to sleep" or settle until beyond the 100yd or further mark. When load testing for long range, typically, I will shoot no shorter than 200yds and usually 300yd/m. Similar with your experiences with primers. In one 222 load a few years back and on a whim, I exchanged my usual Remington 7-1/2 BR primers with a Wolf, and low and behold, it held more consistent tight groups. Now that experiment didn't do as well in other rifles/loads, but in that one, it did. Experimenting with seating depths is a given in search for that sweet spot, and usually and depending on bullet style and its reported history of likes and dislikes, I may jam, touch and then back off by .005" per group. Enjoy the search. YMMV [/QUOTE]
