TPM - The Precision Rifle Reloading Series - #7 - Seating Depth Test & May TPM Challenge Winner!

Part 7 Of The Precision Rifle Reloading Series


First off.... Congratulations to Bryan from Michigan for winning the May 2023 TPM 5-Shot Business Card Challenge with a .401" CTC group. Fantastic shooting Bryan. Big thanks to everyone who participated, more to come!!


Next, onto the reloading...
This is my favorite part of precision rifle load development. This is where we see the results of our efforts. After shooting the Optimal Charge Weight load development test in Episode #6 (link below), I selected a powder charge to fine tune with various bullet seating depths. We start out with the bullet seated at the lands, and work back to .060" off the lands, in .010" increments.

The results were great and exactly what I would expect. Next up, I'll load up a bunch of ammo at this seating depth and powder charge and dial the rifle in even further using a Harrell's harmonic tuner brake. That should be an exciting video to watch.

Bottom line, loading accurate precision rifle ammo, whether it be for long range / ELR type shooting, PRS shooting, or hunting, is a doable thing by anyone out there. Be methodical, be analytical, and most importantly.... BE CONSISTENT!


THANKS FOR WATCHING!!!!!!!
