I am trying to find a load for my 6.5-284 and have found a load with RL-22 that gives me 3 holes touching at 100, but its only running 2747. I can bump up the powder enough to give me 2840fps, but the group opens up to just over 3/4 inch. Do the experts think I could play with seating depth and shrink that bigger group down closer to the first one?
I have a 24" barrel so im definitely gonna be slower than the competition guys.
TIA
Have a rifle shooting just over 3/4" and you want to fix it?
I would't say "fix" but nothing better than getting the most our of my rifle that I can get....IMO.
We may be missing the reason for the post.
Guess I was simply asking if the harcore reloaders have much luck trying to finetune group size by adjusting seating depth. I dont have access to a shooting range near my house so Im reloading and then driving 30 min to the range. Not able to "play" with loads as much as some are so just trying to save myself some steps. Thats all.
