Yes. Same results with a 257 here. I initially took bullets out to the extreme such that running them through the action would induce run out. Had to load those single shot. Given Weatherby's free bore, one cannot reach the lands. My thoughts are that the deeper seating depth generated more consistent pressures at ignition.

When I started reloading 100 TSX's for the 257 a lot of people were encouraging the whole kiss or near kissing thing and my 2 or 3 257 Roys actually liked em seated deep, like .10 deep. I figured this out when the factory rounds were bug holeing and my reloads weren't. Put the comparator on the factory rounds and was shocked how deep they were seated. Made the adjustment in depth and groups tightened right up.
