Playing with seating depths at 300 yards

Test in smaller increments. Try 0.005 changes in depth. I would do like 0.045 and 0.055 and see what they look like.
 
You're holding just under 1 MOA at 300 yards with all those groups and they are so simlar that I'd have a hard time guessing where to start. I suppose it comes down to deciding whether you want to work with the group with the smallest horizontal or vertical spread. I don't know what kind if wind you were working with but if you had any at all then I'd probably work with the .030" group.
 
.030" for me. I would do .2gr either side, then smaller seating depth changes after. Post your results!
The vertical is what I go after and .030" has the best by far. Side to side is me(you) or wind.
