    The seating depth was decided as simply 10 thou from the lands of a load that up until this point seemed the best option.

    I’m open to the idea of trying other bullets but I also note that these lapua 139 bullets seem very accurate in a variety of rifles.

    Perhaps I need to explore a grain or two higher than what I currently use or try another powder- I recently bought some RS 62 too.

    Thanks for enlightening me on JLK bullets; I’ve not come across them before.

    As used in the latest 1000 yard benchrest group of a little over 1" for five shots - shot from a rifle that looks like a rifle and not a piece of laboratory equipment. Used to be made right there at the competition site by Swampy Knox in his truck - J4 jackets and all, sold still hot. He WAS JLK - but sold out to another husband and wife team of national-level BR-ers.

    Here in UK it's Fox Firearms who has them -

    Good luck.
