[QUOTE="brant89, post: 969644, member: 49553"] I recently bought a Savage 12LRP in 260 Rem and have been thoroughly disappointed with it until I saw the first glimpse of hope today. I started out with Lapua brass, IMR4831 (availability), topped off with a 140gr AMAX and set off by a CCI 250 primer and could not get good velocities with that powder (not uncommon) and could no longer find that bullet in stock. So I started from scratch with IMR 4350 and Berger 140gr Hunting VLD's and got excellent velocities (+2800fps) but poor accuracy regardless of charge weight (about 1-1.5MOA) when seated about 0.010 off the lands. So I decided to reduce my charge and find the optimal seating depth per Bergers recommendations. Well folks, the proof is in the pudding. Here are two of the groups I shot today showing what a huge difference seating depth can make. [/QUOTE]
