    Have people started to identify velocity nodes for this bullet?

    Is there any consensus on best seating depths? I‘ve seen recommendations all over the map....-.020”, -.060”, -.080”.

    I did a seating depth test at a lower charge to start off but my mirage was pretty bad that day. -.020 and -.040” were good with -.040“ being better (.2-.3ish). -.060 and -.080” opened up (.75), and -.100 started to tighten back up around .5 MOA or slightly less.

    I’ll probably revisit .030” intervals to .120” at what look to be 2 of my better charge weights.

    I’m shooting 6XC.

    Thanks!
