SS86, I like -.015 to -.020" but I agree with Donovan about exploring -.035" to -.040" as well. You might finally have it tuned!

I plan to do a seating depth test in .003" increments from jam-.010" to -.030", but just not sure if 100 yards is enough to evaluate seating depth pattern. I could be wrong. Would 200 yards be better?

100 yard is enough, hence this thread! ;D
That should be better. Thanks.mr45man said:Fe Man

Any advice on my post from the previous page?
I'm thinking somewhere between 45.3 and 45.6. They seem to be pretty similar in relation to the center, they're tight, and the ES SD and AV velocities look pretty good too.
