[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2254217, member: 1521"] The Berger test works with every ogive type, and optimum seating is affected by every ogive type to throat combination. The testing can work with lands a foot from ogives. Nobody could predict optimum seating for you. It has to be tested for, and you might as well do full seating testing with a coarse round. Tail chasing here is beginning too narrow in adjustment and overall span. With that, you might never see optimum. I know people don't like testing, and would rather assume a setting +/- little to nothing. Just keep in mind that whatever they declare about it, is unlikely to be helpful for the rest of us. I've watched on forums, for decades, all the declarations/implications that VLDs had to be ITL to shoot. I knew this was not true, because I had actually done full seating testing with them (long before Berger recommended it). But there still seems no way to steer folks from what they must be reading in gun rags. To understand that seating is significant enough a gain/loss to take seriously. [/QUOTE]
