[QUOTE="Robtattoo, post: 5383972, member: 11961"] [ATTACH type="full"]142252[/ATTACH] Played around with my seating depth this afternoon for my .223/77tmk combo. Shots 1 & 2 were LC brass. I didn't pick up on this until after I shot all the groups (I keep my fired brass in order) I'm not sure how they ended up in the batch, I thought I'd sorted it all to matching Norma headstamp. ES dropped to 12, with an SD of 5.7 I have no problem whatsoever with this grouping out of 8 shots. I'll get a definite zero & 30 round group & I think I'm calling it good. I also finally got my new Swede scoped & shot. Did a very, very dirty load selection with 130 TGKs. I've done it this way several times & 9 times out of 10, it's dead on. I pick a load right at max book (or proven max in another gun) load up 1 round & shoot to check pressure. I had a little ejector print/ swipe, so backed off a half grain. Loaded up the other 19 with a .040" jump to the lands (CBTL = 3.195, loaded 19 at 3.155) I used the first 9 to get zeroed & the last 10 for actual group size. I sure ain't mad at it!
