These two groups were the last two I shot at 100 yards. The further I backed off the tighter they grouped

2.740 left, 2.760 right. 2.740 was my last set. I'll load two more sets of three up and seat them at 2.730 and at 2.720 and see if they tighten up anymore.

Well I hit the range again today starting were I left off yesterday. My last load yesterday had shot well at a coal of 2.740. The 105gr Nosler RDF shot tighter the further I backed off the lands.

I shot three sets of three today. (3) 2.740 (3) 2.730 (3) 2.720

The rifle really likes the seating depth of 2.740 with the RL-17. I'm going to load a bunch of the 2.740 loads and go to the 300 yard line tomorrow.

All the best things in life, live on the other side off fear.

The true eye sees not the despair of its victims, only the elegance of equilibrium. It's a demonstration of superior judgment.
