new to reloading/new to the forum

[bozo699]

Hey everyone - introducing myself - fairly new to reloading and seem to always be thinking about different aspects of reloading every time I sit down and reload a box of anything. I reload several rifle and handgun loads. I always stay to the low side of loads — plinking and trying to get better with each box of lead. Typically I have been using US Reloading and Everglades bullets and sometimes will have a box of Berry or another name brand bullet - they all have put holes in the paper and drained a plastic bottle of water - but have been noticing a sometime huge difference in the length of the bullets and understand the difference in pressure that it creates. Guess my question is - how or what difference does the bullet make if the OALof loaded bullet is the same and within the guidelines of the referenced load data from the book?
thanks to all and stay safe out there - getting to be a crazy world

Welcome to the forum.
What dgeesaman said in post above is spot on with my thoughts regarding your question

Does anyone have a recommended seating depth of a 90 grain Varmint with H4350 powder? I am trying to get a tighter group. Right now, I am running 6.5 Creedmoor with a seating depth of 2.162. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.
I never shot light bullets in a 6.5 so no suggestions however go to the 6mm 6.5mm and 25 caliber forum on this site and there’s probably info there. If not post your thread there and you will most likely get more responses
