[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3947271, member: 15054"] Did you guys play with seating depths on those Hornady bullets? .005" from touching the lands. Now if you do not smoke or color the bullet with a sharpie you can be in the lands .030" or more if you just seat it with pressure. I like .005" off NO marks on a colored bullet then back it off .020" more test and again back it off another .020" and test. I was given some Bergers that I was told wanted .060" to .120" off the lands for my .308. I kind of did not believe the guy and set them at .005" off and they did not group well. I backed them to .025" and tightened up and then went .050" off and they got even tighter. I was out of those free to try bullets and just could not bring myself to give 35+ for 50. But they sure as heck wanted to jump. My 6.5 Hornady flat base wants to jump also. [/QUOTE]
