So I finally narrowed down my powder charge for this bullet with Reloder 16 in my Savage Tactical rifle.
So I decided to do a seating depth test. I started at the lands, then .045" off, then .080" off and finished with .120 off.
What I found was that the .080" load definitely shot better than the others. I have not gotten home to measure yet, so the following are estimated.
On the lands was almost 2". Elevation was good, but horizontal was pretty wide.
.045" off was roughly .75" group
.080" off is approximately .3" group
And .120" off yielded around .9" group.
I will post some.phottos later.
