[QUOTE="waveslayer, post: 2432647, member: 46202"] Yes, I find a node, for example in my 6.5 SAUM using 153.5 Bergers, I found a node at 58-58.9. I use .3 increments. I had a nice little group going up and up and then it opened up. On that node I used 58.5 gr. It was right in the middle of the node and groupings. I then tested seating depth and found that the .033" off grouped the best and .083" off. Always go with the closer to the lands seating depth. because as the throat wears down you know you can seat them longer and still get good accuracy. going with the middle node allows for certain factors, warm barrel, warm weather, cold weather, etc... Dan Newberry goes into good detail about it [/QUOTE]
