[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1904206, member: 69478"] I’m sharing this method for those that want to use it in their rifles. I think it’s a very good, simple, and conclusive way of finding the sweet spot for seating depth in your rifle. A lot of people don’t really understand how serious seating depth can change things. I was one of those people up until a couple years ago. I also think some guys aren’t sure on how to really test seating depth or what to look for. I simply wanted to share my method with some results to show what I do, what works for me, and what I look for. It’s weird to me to be shooting more than .030 off the lands, but my results show how well some bullets like to be jumped far. I think it’s a good idea to do this test when working up loads in any new rifle or load combination. I also wanted to say that I recommend waiting a few minutes between each group, and if you have a sporter weight magnum to wait at least one minute between each shot in the group and again waiting a few minutes between each different group.!
