Jump to lands for...

[BoltGun6]

Can someone give me a good start for these 3 bullets:
Nosler 140 RDF
Sierra 142 SMK
Hornady 147 ELD-M

I've heard the Nosler likes a larger jump but no specific number. The opposite for the Hornady, closet but not touching. Thanks for any info you have.

.01-.06

.02 is a very common number so is .05 .01 and .015 and .06

I've had good luck with the 147ELD's from .015 to .030.. Its not real finicky, depends on the rifle.

147 ELD-M around .020, as said before they are not finicky.
The 140 RDF was a PITA to get working on two of my rifles. They like a bigger jump like .035 thru .060. I've seen some people jumping them to .1
No experience with the SMK

I shoot 142 SMKs and have found them tolerant to a fairly broad range of seating depth in a SAMMI spec 6.5 Creedmoor chamber. Not much difference between .015 - .050".
