[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 2777421, member: 69478"] I personally wouldn’t worry about 25-30fps ES being high. That’s really not that bad. I’d test different seating depths and loads at 600 if you want to shrink your vertical. If you’re concerned about the high ES though, I’d try different powder charges going up from your load now in 0.3gr increments and down in 0.3gr increments for a few loads each way, as long as you don’t hit pressure. I’d also run .003+ neck tension. That seems to help things more than lighter neck tensions. Finally, if trying more neck tension and different loads doesn’t help, I’d switch powders. How clean is the barrel when doing these test? [/QUOTE]
