Berger 22 cal 77 OTM Question

Has anyone tried these? If so what velocity and seating depth from lands have you found to work best?

Ive been testing them in my 22 dasher without much luck. Every group I've shot has showed some verticle of some sort. When I do show a promising load I'll load it in .1 grain incrememtns up and below and dang it if I don't show verticle in those as well. I believe I'm going to toss them and stick with the 80 sierras.
Right now curious if anyone has had any success with them?
 
Just began working with that bullet in my Savage LRPV .223, jammed .004" into lands. Have not yet run them thru the clock. Groups around .750" at 100 yds. so far.

I started .005 off and went till I was .020 and found a sweet spot at -.018. That even showed vertical but was the smallest. So I then started at my normal Dasher load and worked up in .2 grain increments found what looked like two nodes one around 36.2 and the other at 35.6 of H4350 so I chose the upper node and loaded from 35.9-36.5 grains and when I hit the same load I thought looked good it was like 2" vertical then as I got to 36.5 it tightened up to I'm guessing a .7 group but that's just not good enough, I need to shoot under 1/2" at 300 yards and at a consistent basis to compete at 600 BR matches.
