Hello all,
Getting ready to load up some Berger 140 grain classic Hunter in my 270 WSM.
Anywho, I know these bullets, (or so I have been told) they can be sensitive to distance they are seated from the lands. I generally for most bullets start .020-.030. where do you all find your best results?
These bullets are kinda expensive so I don't want to burn through 100 bullets to figure out the seating depth. I have a pretty accurate load with other 140 grain bullets. So I will probably start there. My "in the lands" measurement with this bullet is 2.881, and Mag length is 2.850, for reliable feeding. 2.850 leaves about .015 clearance in the mag. So that where I intend to start is 2.850 for COAL.
Just looking for insight
