[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 1281181, member: 90080"] To be able to accurately monitor your loads for seating depth, it should be tested by using CBTO instead of OAL lengths. OAL will only tell you magazine compatibility. If you don't have them, I would suggest you use Hornady's tools to measure CBTO distance to lands. If you still have enough of bullet bearing surface in the case neck, you might start @ .010" off lands and load 3, seat the next three .010" deeper, and so on, until groups tighten up. You can then, fine tune seating depth, if needed. You can also do this by finding the CBTO of rounds that are max OAL length for your magazine and then doing the same process, as above, to find a load you can cycle thru magazine. You really need a repeatable way to define CBTO for consistant jump, as there is a good bit of difference in meplate to ogive length in secant bullets. Keep good records for comparison to targets.
