I have been reloading for my .308 win. Handi rifle for sometime now. I am going to start experimenting with a new round, Nosler Ballistic tip (green tip) 165 grain Spitzer. I have a good amount ammo loaded for a work up, after that is done I am going to test my seating depth. I checked my depth to my rifling using the method in the Nosler manual. After doing this test 8 times, I'm getting a COL of 3.015"
That means my rounds will be jumping just over .200" thats one hell of a jump. Any ideas of a good seating depth to start with? Using .020" off the lands is just way to far out, the bullet would barely be sitting in the brass. I was considering starting around 2.850-2.900". Any ideas?
