Interested to know as well. I have over 1,000 of these bullets I need to work up a load for.

They're not fussy to be honest. They don't have the highest BC, but the consistency and flexibility in seating depth makes them a worthwhile option. You can jam them, I had no issues with the 6.5mm 136gr bullet, but I'd probably start touching the lands and work my way back in jumping.

Start on the lands like willow said. And work back into the cartridge case in .002,.003 or .005 increments. With any bullet seating depth testing use the lowest powder charge listed for the bullet/powder/cartridge combination you are testing. When you find the bullet seating depth accuracy node. Work the powder charge back up slowly checking your pressure signs and accuracy until your highest velocity accuracy node is found. You have to test and find what YOUR RIFLE likes to be at its most accurate. They are all different.

I have never heard of doing the seating depth first.
