If case capacity is starting to be a problem then use a longer drop tube and trickle in the powder slowly. This will allow the powder to settle better inside the case.

Initial seating depth while finding the right powder weight

Were you making windage corrections in that group, or is that just how they flew? If one can draw a definite line through their impacts like that it is a tell tale sign of body position/NPOA. (Natural Point of Aim) If you were clicking, that scope tracks really good. Your elevation is balls on!
I shot my first Berger VLDs today. Started at touch and I ain't touching nothing else with this load!
Didn't make any corrections, could be the mirage as well. The last shots I made when I look through the scope for more than 2-3sec the orange dot is disappearing...
I didn't have the time to wait the barrel to cool down, and my primary idea was to check the velocity.
Heat is the biggest killer of precision & accuracy. That is why the competition shooters use thick heavy steel barrels to dissipate the heat. Try to schedule your range sessions so you don't have to abuse your kit and et diminished returns. SO enough with the Dad speech. LOL You are showing a lot of promise with those groups heat or no.Didn't make any corrections, could be the mirage as well.

Yeah, except if you watch Mr Cortina’s very recent interview with Mr Green from Bartlein, you be will hear Mr Cortina say he has never found seating depth adjustment to be productive and he only uses a tuner now.
Yeah, and he sells the tuner he's promoting.
Yep…on the other hand do you think he would lie to Frank Green’s face?
Did you see the vid?
People who claim hat seating depth does not affect accuracy are incompetent.
Brian Litz once said that annealing does not affect accuracy, a profoundly stupid assertion, but everyone thinks he’s a reloading god.
Cortina once said that seating depth nodes are very narrow and therefore people should make .003” adjustments.
But now it doesn’t matter.

His scores suggest he's mid pack only in F-Class. I was being generous. He gets rekt at PRS matches (the ones I bothered looking at) and watching him shoot pistols is embarrassing. His claim to fame is spicy YT videos about full length sizing. His content is entirely riding the coat tails of everyone else in precision marksmanship. Why anyone takes him seriously in shooting is beyond me.
IMHO tuners are for rimfire... in theory... maybe? (I don't shoot rimfire, and therefore don't know shit about it really lol).
I'm 100% sure they add one more thing to a centerfire rifle that can get knocked loose and possibly fuck things up.

He should also ask EC if he knows his brake is voodoo.

Just curious....
How many mid pack F-Class LR shooters have won their State Championship?
How many have won it three times?
How many have a Bronze at a World Championship?
How many will stop their day and talk with you about a question or problem?
How about we leave Erik's character, classifications, and win records alone and discuss his positions on load development instead?
That said, I would not sit still if folks were attacking your characters, classifications, or records either.
My apologies if it feels like I am calling you out on an opinion about Erik and admit you are entitled to it, and I realize anyone who is selling products or making videos becomes fair game to some degree. You are entitled not to like someone or what they are selling.
But in his defense, Erik readily admits when he needs to change a past position and has done it publicly and often. That you are entitled not to like anyone is okay, but should we be entitled to belittle his classification cards, win records, and accomplishments when those are facts?
Does this personal attack on (fill-in-the-blank) make SH a better place to work out load development, or does it threaten to make it a toxic playground for trolls?
Not to mention that he is a very friendly guy and you would probably rather count him as your friend than take away his records if you were not letting your keyboards get ahead of you.
You don't have to buy what he is selling or like his sense of humor, but SH would still be better if it didn't sound like a such a playground.
I'll have your backs and hope you have mine if a day ever comes, but today we needed to have Erik's back cause we are letting our egos go too far. A civilized, adult, criticism of a position is constructive, but if we keep using venom here folks who can actually help will stay away.
Carry on, as always, YMMV

I'd be 20thou plus. From the mag. If you are kissing...little bits matter a bunch. Typically larger jumps are more tolerant of seating depth inconsistencies.
If single fed....by all means, stuff it till it shoots.
One problem is that most of us can't shoot into the .2's every shot and therefore we mix form errors with equipment error.

Notice how none of the pro guys come on here anymore?
The funny part is, you’d think those guys would be hard to talk to, but most of the pros, will talk in facebook messenger and help all they can, and are happy to do so, then you get guys in here, that never win anything and always quick to criticize.

Other than the world shoot last year, wasn't most of that almost 10 years ago? Lazy GMs get smoked by A class shooters all the time.
Erik finished 30th overall. It's a respectable finish.
If we're going to start jerking off Youtuber's, John Masek finished 4th. John has never won a state championship or a world title. He doesn't make smarmy shock videos either.
Make sure you're applying the advice you receive to the right components of the game. Taking ammo / equipment advice from an f class guy because he's a great shot can bite you in the real world....I wouldn't take marriage advice from wilt chamberlain just because he drilled 10k ladies.
Some f class disciplines and tools can seriously screw you in real life conditions.

This is what I also do. If the mag length happens to be longer then I’ll just start .005 off the lands
Same here, but I’ve only ran into one time on a cheap savage axis hunting rifle for my brother. So I did the same and started .005” off.
Is that .005 to account for shoulder bump moving forward and the first .002 of soft touch? I always think I'm shooting touch when I seat back .005.
It’s an arbitrary number I picked. I don’t ever jam and I don’t want to be right on the lands so .005 just in case there’s slight differences from bullet to bullet. But I also want to feed from the magazine and not single feed.

Oh that was a joke? I thought old dude who posted that had Tourette’s syndrome. I was feeling sorry for him and didn’t engage. Lol
