[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2844417, member: 15054"] I loaded 2 rounds of each bullet at different seating depths 6 bullets total. I went shooting yesterday and took the savage Axis .223 22" barrel. 60gr Vmax, Prepped LC-14 cases.( annealed , Flash holes deburred. cases trimmed , vld chamfered and sorted to within .6gr) CCI 450 primers. BL-C(2) powder. 26.3gr I seated 2 bullets 2.242" 2 bullets seated to 2.257" And 2 more at 2.296" These were then stuck into the magazine and loaded from magazine This is a bolt gun. I stuck a bipod on the gun but left it closed and rested the front on a bag No rear bag. Butt of gun was on table to steady it a bit more. 100 yards. All 6 went into a smallish group .356" center to center. EDIT: Sniper friend was with me during the shoot. I used my F1 chrony and it was 15 yards in front of muzzle. Quite puzzled from the good group with the wide spreads in speeds. Long seated...... 2,992fps , 2,958 fps. Medium seated...2,954 and 2914 fps. The slow one was an easy to seat bullet. Deep seated.......2,965 and 2966 fps, For what it is worth. I seated different lengths to see if there may be a huge difference in point of impact and I needed to make some short to fit into an AR magazine. Seated Long they are not touching the lands in my rifle. This bullet.
