Don’t expect a definitive answer to your question. You will only know if you test this for your rifle.I read that Berger 80.5 fullbore bullets are not fussy about seating depth. So if I am seating 20 off the lands what would be an acceptable plus or minus range to allow ? Could I allow three thousands or more in either direction ?
I was just asking on the average, in generalDon’t expect a definitive answer to your question. You will only know if you test this for your rifle.
There is not an average or in general. The window may be .001 or it could be .005 or .01.I was just asking on the average, in general
I understand, Thank youThere is not an average or in general. The window may be .001 or it could be .005 or .01.
Why would you do that?Could I allow three thousands or more in either direction ?
Did they like a lot of jump in your rifle?I have heard a lot of people say that the hornady eldm were not sensitive also. .010 made all the difference for me. Tightened my group drastically.
That's a spread of .010. That's a lot if you're talking about precision rounds. Something is off with your process or die, or press, or something.the reason I asked this is because I am having a hard time getting the seating depth exact. I am usually off by .005 in either direction.

Hornday seaters are surprisingly accurate.RCBS single stage press, Hornady seater die with micrometer top and digital caliper
Even the best bullets are surprisingly different...where the seater contacts vs where your comparator contacts. The best seater ever made will not seat a box of bullets the same. Now what. Change your thoughts.Hornday seaters are surprisingly accurate.
what would you suggest to get more accurate seating ?Even the best bullets are surprisingly different...where the seater contacts vs where your comparator contacts. The best seater ever made will not seat a box of bullets the same. Now what. Change your thoughts.
