[QUOTE="Lonewolf74, post: 1406003, member: 96274"] Rhovee, food for thought. What do you think would be the outcome if you used the same charge at different coal or even tested each charge weight at several different coal? What I mean is it is clear by your target that groups changed but that is expected while changing charge weight, the same is true of changing coal. So using some hypothetical numbers; say your worse group was .020 off the lands and 50 grains powder, best group was .020 off lands and 52 grains powder. Now if you took the 50 grain charge and did a seating depth test do you believe you would find where that combo shoots better at a coal other than .020 off the lands? Or is it possible that's the best 50 grains is gonna shoot meaning the bullet is at optimum seating depth it's just a bad load at that charge? I think a real test would be to do the Berger seating depth test at several charge weights and even powders and see if you come up with the same optimal depth or if there's differences. [/QUOTE]
