Pharm that's pretty interesting how seating depth changed the groups that much. I tried a load the other day in my 7mm-08 with a 150 eld-x over 38 grains of IMR4064 and it shot about a 2 inch group which most where I am would say that's a good hunting load but I'm not satisfied with that. I may try this load again but just seat them longer than 2.800 as the hornady manual says and see what the groups do. Try the whole process. Odds are one depth will shoot significantly better than the others. P
Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.

I've never needed to adjust seating depth to obtain good accuracy. Maybe I've been lucky, I just load to magazine max length then adjust charges. Of course mostly use Tikkas rifles. My Ruger , Howa , and Rem 700 , Mauser same way.
Can't argue with Pharmseller results though...

I'm definitely going to try it after hunting season is over with these 150 eld-x bullets I've got. But for now I'll be shooting the 120 TTSX since they shot pretty good and it's what I sighted it in with. After all the good reviews I've read on the 120 TTSX in a 7mm-08 ive got pretty high hopes for it.

Keep the velocity high with the monometals and nothing you shoot will know the difference.

P That's what I've read about pretty much all the barnes. I need to get my chronograph out that I bought and have never used and see what mine are running if I can get it to work.
