Interesting
Working with my .308 hunting rifle trying to find that less than mag length seating depth for the berger 168 hunting VLD was frustrating. Finally tried the berger jump test. Found my seating depth 0.127 off the lands. I was suprised to say the least.
Lapua brass CCI Br2 44gr varget 168 gr berger hunting VLD
Below is a pic of my final seating depth test. Each one of these is only 0.010 apart. You can plainly see the 0.030 wide accuracy node.

In what order were these targets shot. I have completed some successful OCW loads and about to start my seating depth tests. I am am interested to see if there is a predictable pattern of how they shrink and expand similar to the OCW points of impact tend to. Thanks
