I thought about seating them deeper but it scares me the thought of trying to do it with a loaded round. While the delay of ignition to the primer could be a cause of the first two rounds being low, it also could be that I adjusted my zero stop on my scope likely moving my zero. I had too much play behind my zero stop, so i adjusted it, likely accidently moving my zero down a little. But i could be either or. The rest of the rounds were pretty consistent. Out of the ten i fired.
