I’ll check it out and get you some truer numbers though. I’m just thinking that’s where I started them and don’t remember altering the seating depth much.

Shot my sweede this weekend rl26 with 50gr and 143 eldx and shot an average speed of just shy of 2900fps. And the groups where just under and inch. Time to tinker with the load and seating depth. I am very impressed with the load and rl26

I've got a Barrett Fieldcraft and trying the 130 Swift Scirocco. Anyone using that combination or can anyone give me some guidance on starting/max load data? I've been loading IMR 4350/4831/H4831/RL19 and CCI 200 primers. Velocity has ranged from 2660 to 2770 depending on the powder. Accuracy has been somewhere in the .75 MOA range. I know the seating depth on Swifts are finicky but I think I've finally settled on an OAL.
I've got some 130 Accubonds to try if I get too disgusted with the Swifts.
The lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part!
