[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 1230214, member: 34818"] Went out today and shot the loads that I loaded up yesterday. All shots were from 300 yards out and was testing for seating depth and three shots were fired. 1. .010 off lands yielded a 3.7" group 2. .020 off yielded a 2.4" group 3. .030 off yielded a 3.4" group 4. .040 off yielded a 2.7" group Hopefully, I can take the seating depth of .020 and load different powder charge weights with it and get sub 1/2 to 1/2 MOA out of it. Opinions would be good on this. Do you think that I should go test the same powder charge and seat the bullet deeper than .040? Or try .015 and .025 to see if anything around .020 off the lands is better before I just go with .020 and do different powder charges with it? [/QUOTE]
