[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1181719, member: 5219"] IMO you can ignore the seating depth suggestions for VLDs. It is as easy as seating the bullet to properly fit and feed from the magazine. They truly are seating depth insensitive. Just work up your powder charge from there. All the hunting rifles I have loaded this way have responded with excellent groups. I don't bother to actually know the distance to the lands even though I own the tools to do so! I do check a dummy round by polishing the bullet with fine steel wool and chambering it to see if it is engaging the lands. I don't like to have that condition because of the possibility of having a bullet stuck in the rifling during a hunt. Rifles loaded with Berger hybrids to date: 7-08 168 classic hunter hybrid 284 win 168 classic hunter hybrid Four 7 Rem mags 168 classic hunter hybrid 7/375 168 classic hunter 180 match target hybrid 338 RCM 300 gr OTM hybrid 6-284 95 gr classic hunter hybrid four 300 RUMs 230 gr match target hybrid 300 WSM 230 gr match target hybrid two 300 Win mags 215 Berger match target hybrid [/QUOTE]
