[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1880301, member: 69478"] You don’t have to burn up your barrel. These guys did extensive testing to back up their claims and prove it so people would believe them and not blow them off for working outside the norm. It really would only take like 20 shots to do a seating depth test. That’s firing two rounds each in .010 increments from 0.020 off to 0.120 off. Shoot the shots at separate aiming points on a grid pattern. Map the point of impacts and pick the seating depths that have the same or very close point of impact to one another. This will find the “sweet spot” that will shoot good across a wide range of seating depths. If you’re shooting a .338 magnum, your throat could erode several thousandths in just a box of hot reloads. Instead of chasing the lands every 50-100 shots because you’re close to the lands and not in the seating depth node, you can find a wide node that will allow the bullets to have .010-.030 differences in length but still shoot good and have consistent point of impact.
