[QUOTE="Pdyson, post: 2777643, member: 74061"] I’ve read and heard top bench rest shooters say that the longer and pointer the bullet the closer to the lands it likes to be. Top bench rest shooters like Speedy put those Berger VLDs deep into the lands, touching, or even hard jammed into them. Not a good idea for hunters. Only the Berger manual recommends trying long jumps. So even when I‘m told a bullet likes to jump, I seat them as long as I can, to avoid the donut If I possible. I always powder test first and I start with my bullets seated as far out as the magazine or rifling will allow. if I get the velocity without pressure, single digit SD, and promising groups that maintain the same POI through 3 ladder steps. I lock down the powder and adjust my seating depth In small amounts but I never jump them the great distances listed in the Berger manual. I stopped doing that 10 years ago when after several attempts, i Never found a node back there that was any better than the ones I found at longer CBTOs. [/QUOTE]
