Will I find a change in impact and or accuracy by trying different seating depths? I am at max length on all of my guns now "magazine box max". ________________________________________________ Maker of The Frankenstud Sling Keeper Proudly made in the USA Acepting all forms of payment | ||

Change in impact isn`t likely, but a change in accuracy is very possible. ------------------------------------ The trouble with the Internet is that it's replacing masturbation as a leisure activity. ~Patrick Murray "Why shouldn`t truth be stranger then fiction?

I disagree with Joe. I think that you will find that changing the seating depth of your bullet will change both the point of impact and accuracy. Kudude | |||

I disagree with both Joe and Kudude. Changing seating depth MAY sometimes change either POI, accuracy, or both. Some powder/bullet/primer/case combinations are relatively insensitive to seating depth changes. That is a mark of a good load. | |||

I disagree with EVERYBODY..........No........Wait.......That would make me a Democrat! Any changes can cause accuracy and POI to change so all you can do is try and see. It just gives you a good excuse to shoot more! One shot , one kill | |||

I always experiment with seating depth because I have found that it has had an effect on accuracy in every rifle I have reloaded for. I like to establish a point of touching the lands, then seat deeper in .005 increments to .030 off the lands. | |||

I had some 7mm08's that were too long to fit in the magazine. I seated the bullets deeper until they just would just fit & feed. I then treid them out mixing them. They all touched at 100 yards. Your experience may be different, youo just need to try them see wat they will do. | |||
