Thread: Bullet seating depth and OAL issues

So a little update, I loaded up my rounds at .050" jump, 3 with 22.8gr, 3 with 23.3gr and 3 with 23.8gr of ar2208.

Best group came from 23.3gr at 1 5/8", consistently shot to the left of where the cross hair was pointed (sighted with PPU, hornady training goes to same POI), the hotter the load the further to the left it went. Elevation was pretty good and my gun did not explode in my face which was lovely. Always a boost to the confidence when things go well first time around!

I think I will stick with the 23.3gr and maybe have a play with bullet seating depth to see if I can get under 1" and then call it done.

Any comments on why it may go to the left?

Note: I'm not a fantastic shooter, it may well be shooting MOA and I'm letting it down by the 5/8", but the projectiles are not cheap so I wont be perfecting my skills with these rounds!
