[QUOTE="cornchuck, post: 787304, member: 20220"] Were you watching Shawn Carlock's video on reloading for long range hunting? I got his video collection for Christmas and just about wore them out already. He has some operations on there that I never even thought of. Like measuring every round to get it right with the ogive. I always set the seating die with the first five rounds and went with it. I also measured about every 10 rounds after setting the die and always not where I thought it would be. After watching his video, I now set the die to where it seats the bullet about .008 off of my target depth. Seat all bullets then go back through and seat them to where I want them by adjusting the die. ( I purchsed micrometer dies long time ago). I have found that doing this operation, my groups have closed up. Instead of getting 1/2 moa at 200 yds, now I can get 5 rounds touching at 200 yds. I always thought that the different trim lengths were the problem for different OAL. But come to find out that the ogive's could be off. I am also shooting 175 SMK's. Jason [/QUOTE]
