OK, this thread is for you better-shooters-than-me out there (and there are quite a few I know!! lol).
I have a few hundred in quantity of various 95 grainers, but most of them seem to need a, kinda-sorta, short seating in the case.
95 Noslers mostly BT, 2.220 or 2.210 to the lands, depending on the rifle.
95 Berger classic hunters - 2.200 to lands.
95 SST, 2.203 lands (I have 'em and they shoot fine, but not really a preferred pill right now).
So for most of these I've been using the conventional wisdom of ~0.060 off of lands, which puts them all about 2.150-2.170 depending.
What do y'all think about seating them up a bit more, for a bit more room, but still have accuracy?
I also have some 95 SMK's and they have lots of room, lands are at 2.318.
And 90 TGK's, they go out to 2.338.
Anyway, I'm wondering if seating up to say 2.180 (~20 off lands) how would they all perform?
My main babies are a 20" faxon (gas) and my 22" uintah (bolt).
And during the current unpleasantness it would be nice to stick to the ones I have on hand... just sayin'.
