[QUOTE="c_bass16, post: 957650, member: 20355"] I did similar. I got up to 79 before I had unacceptable pressure signs. My primers still look good, and I only have very very slight bolt lift with Nosler brass. I get a slight crunch when I seat, powder is just below the neck/shoulder junction and I do give the press two slow strokes to make sure it seats where I want it. I'm using 78.2gr loaded at mag length. I'd have to consult my notes to remember how far off the lands I am. But the best part is that I am shooting 168 and 180 vlds into very similar sized groups (.3-.4" at 100) with the same charge, the same die setting. If I happen to run out of 168s or 180s...all I need to do is load up my brass with something else, and rezero. 168s are going about 3030 180s are going about 3105 with the exact same charge and seating depth. I think the larger 190 Matrix or 195 VLDs would be even better suited. [/QUOTE]
