[QUOTE="buck8541, post: 1600627, member: 75845"] I played with one of these when they were first introduced on the market and found mine to be finicky about seating depth. I started with the factory C.O.A.L and worked out .010" at a time until I found the sweet spot, it was exhausting though. As I recall I went through four powders (RL22, Retumbo, IMR 7828, and H1000) and 5 different bullets until I found a consistent sub MOA load. I don't remember the powder charge offhand (I do remember that it was well below the maximum) but it was Retumbo and a 160 gr Accubond that worked best. In the end, the reduced powder charge, meh velocity, and heavy recoil wasn't worth it to me so I got rid of it and eventually went to 280 AI and have never looked back. [/QUOTE]
