[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 2612492, member: 9281"] Here is my experience, with this test you can "stumble" onto a good seating depth. However, most seating depth nodes are much, much narrower than the increments in this test. You're most likely skipping right over them. Small profile barrels can have a sweet spot within a node that is only .005" wide. I'd suggest you test in .010" increments, you will find something that starts to stand out here. Depths either side of the best group shouldn't explode, they should just get larger. Once you feel you're onto something, test in .003" increments in this area to find your very best seating. From my experience with the hybrids/eol's, they will shoot in the .020-.040" range and then .080-.100". The deeper seating depth node is wider and more forgiving from what I've found too. [/QUOTE]
