You should really read this latest research article on PRB. It was quite awakening for me.

Ditto on the Precision Rifle Blog. It's a long and somewhat difficult read as it's covered in 4 articles and is very technical at times. Well worth reading thru because the conclusions are based on years of testing by several knowledgeable practitioners,... not hearsay, tradition or "in my experience".

It's up to 6 parts now

But SUPER informative and (unfortunately for most) will fly in the face of most of what we (thought we) knew.

agreed, and I doubt many people would have the patience to read through so much info in this day and age of needing quick answers...

I will summarize it. START your jump at .050 and you will likely never have to touch it for the life of the barrel.

A big generalization, but not wrong.

You won't be upset you read it. Or maybe you will

How about when you go a tad long & have a bullet stuck in the bore when you unload? At that point, you went a bit to far.

Yep, another valid point to staying back off the lands...

MDS Episode #0014: Scott Satterlee and Hand Loading
I have read all I can on Scott for a while, and have found a lot of useable info. search this on the web, and it will take you to a pretty long pod cast. I found it interesting in reference to the "lands" game.

Scott also contributed to Part 6 of the research article I listed above. A lot of people will be changing their seating depth.

If a more consistent node can be found at a shorter COAL, that would certainly help some with mag length problems.

Just finished dialing in my 28 Nosler so I think I'll leave it be but I have 3-300 wins and a 6,5x284 that need load development for, I think I would be interested in trying this method on.

Thank you Sir. That was a great read. The majority of my Rifle are seated at least 0.030 off the lands.

kudos for reading it. Probably the most influential shooting article to come out in a decade.

Quick answers never put small groups on paper down range. LOL,,,, This was a great read.

I've found various ELD M bullets to shoot well for me @ .047 off the lands: 88 eldm, 147 eldm & 180 eldm. This would correspond somewhat to findings in this write up. Thanks for posting this.
