Currently doing some load development for a new Remmy LVSF chambered in the wonderful .204 & have reached a point where I have found a load that may have good potential. Anyway, time to start playing with bullet seating depth ... right? Well, I perform the split case with bullet trick to find the lands of my rifle & came up with 2.446" COAL. My current load has a COAL of 2.314". According to my math I'm .132" off the lands, which seems like a lot, but this load is shooting 5 shot groups @ 100 yards off my bench in an inch or a little less.
I guess I really have 2 questions: 1 ~ How far off the lands have you been before ... with a good load? 2 ~ When I start playing with the seating depth, would you recommend getting closer or farther away from the lands?
For your info this load is as follows: 25.3 grs of A2460 with a 39 gr Sierra BlitzKing bullet & Remmy BR 7 1/2 small rifle primers.
