    Interesting results with seating depths

    Name:  22 250 target.jpg

Size:  540.2 KBI trialled some different depths as with the proj almost on the lands it was doing moa and as it usually will do 1/2 with the amax and the match are pretty similar in weight and shape so was a bit disconcerted as I had loaded up 150 of the little suckers and didn't want to pull them all.
    I had just read an article about tuning loads buy pushing them down a mm at a time so I had the original length with two more lots each 1mm shorter than the last and the results were a bit of an eye opener to say the least.
    the groups went from .95 .78 .475 using the optimal charge weight method of grouping.
    The shortest oal were basically 4 in one hole and one just out so I will be trying a bit more of this as a part of my load development.
    I will try load a photo of the target but this new phone takin a bit of driving
