Barrel whip?
Wait! What?? The fat end of the bullet exits the barrel last? :unsure: Who knew?? No one said the OP was using bullets of varying BTO, but it is a significant contributor to varying seating depth. However you keep bringing up different lots of bullets and varying length that effect seating...- mtang45

Barrel whip?
Well we do agree on some things and disagree on others. You obviously have your method that must work for you. However, it seems backassward in some ways to the methods I use to develop my loads and I'm too many years into my method to change it. So out of curiosity, if the OP posted his...- mtang45

Barrel whip?
So you propose adjusting your die with every seating to accommodate variation in bullet BTO measurements? Or do you sort bullets first so that they are all the same? Also if you don't know or measure distance to lands, how do you know how much to adjust seating depth or even where to start...- mtang45

Barrel whip?
True, but I don't believe that was part of this discussion. The OP got his best group at .040 off. He should continue to experiment at .040 off. Now if he changes bullet lots then he will need to make adjustments. I guess I made the assumption that most folks don't use bullets with wild...- mtang45

Barrel whip?
Like others have said, your small test really doesn't indicate much, other than "MAYBE" your rifle likes the load at .040 off the lands. To verify, load up some more exactly the same at .040 off and see if you can duplicate (or come close) to that .286 group.- mtang45

What not to do.
I'm not completely buying the case capacity theory. You were shooting 5 rounds per load, all FGMM brass, at .3gr increments 45.5 to 46.9 of CFE223, and on the 4th round of 46.6 suddenly this happened? Because going from a minor ejector swipe to the results of round 4 is a major, major change. I...- mtang45

What is precision reloading... to you?
What scale do you use to measure that and do you cut powder kernels to achieve that kind of precision? Just asking because with the extruded powders I use, best I can get is +- .01 without cutting kernels.- mtang45

Jump to reloading now or wait
So I have always lived by the motto, Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Reloading helps me with that perspective. Buy components in quantities you can afford when the price is right or are available if you are running low. Keep a stockpile that you are comfortable...- mtang45
