[QUOTE="SHAGGY101, post: 1124581, member: 84110"] Thanks for all the input guys. I ended up seating to .090" off the lands (factory barrel) giving me a cbto of 2.724" giving me a coal of about 3.4. I loaded up h3450 from 57.0gr to 61.5gr with 0.5gr increments (less than 1% change in volume) and shot the following ladder at 300 yds.

As you can see. All shots landed in almost identical dispersion with loads 5-7 showing the most potential at about 2800 fps and .5 MOA.
