The Faxon has the most room, and the Monster and Uintah that I have are close equals, not far behind. Your seating of the 103 Eldx is lots shorter than I need to go as you can see. I do not have any 105 Bergers or 107 smk(well I have the smk but haven't seated them yet).
Hope the formatting comes out ok on this...

edit to add: similar to Dino I'm trying to seat most of them about 50-60 thou off the lands.
Looks like you're getting roughly 40 to 50 thou more length out of the 103 ELD-X's, if you're seeing most of your success 50-60 thou off then I'm really going to have a lot of bullet stuffed in the case. I've just started load development with LeverEvolution looking for charge weights that performed consistent in the 2,650 - 2,700 range. Now going to do seating test next starting at .020 off to .050 off in .003 increments. I'll see how they perform before I make any drastic decisions. Thanks for the feedback.
