Hi all.
I am intrested to know what seating depths you have found they've liked.
My 284 likes 15 off.tried them at that and didn't need to change it.
My 7mm saum only shoots a fraction under 0.5 inch groups at the mo at 15 off.will have to try 20/25 off.
Apparently they don't like closer than 15 off.your findings please.cheers Berger

I played about in my straight 284 and found by pure chancchance that the best group was with a 60thou jump... I know it sounds rediculous but it's more or less a one hole group at 100 yards..

There is probably more than one seating depth that will work but its finding it.I will seat them deeper and deeper until I find the magic depth
