Hornady 285g eld seating depth recommendations

[ScarlettRed]

Does anyone have a recommendation on a starting ogive seating depth off the lands for hornady's 285g eld's? I'm going to start loading for my 338 lm and would like a solid baseline

In my 338 Edge , I shoot the 285 ELDs, kissing the lands...
They are very accurate at that seating depth.

It's been said by some that they don't require contact or even close contact to shoot well. Many saying they jump them Alot and get very good accuracy. Just an FYI from fellow shooters using the 285s in their 338 lapua's.

2.965 according to these guys. They have some good videos on 338LM.....HB

I loaded the 285 ELD-M's at .020 off with H1000, Norma brass in a 338LM Savage M112. Shot very well to a mile. YMMV.

That sounds like a good starting point. Thanks
