...FWIW, I seated them with a COAL that would fit within the magazine (gasser) and it equated to an approximately 0.0730" jump in my chamber.
A LVR load of 29.1 gave a 3-shot group of approximately 10/16" edge-to-edge, when testing for pressure. I wasn't focusing on accuracy, just getting it centered across optical sensors of my old Chrony Beta. YMMV.
