.224 bullet length
This is the three shot group after seating my 75gr A-Max bullets further from the lands. I started at .006 off and went to .021 off the lands to get this 'node'- Idaho

.224 bullet length
It's winter, I'm bored, and reading a LOT. I noticed that sometimes you can find a sweet spot away from the lands if you will seat the bullets deeper into the case.
