[QUOTE="upacreek, post: 861228, member: 59039"] Forgive me for my lack of knowledge. I have been playing with my 7wsm in win 70. Barrel is free floating, plastic stock, trigger as light as I dare, vortex 6.5x20 scope, ect. The barrel was pretty copper fouled and has been good lately. I load in batches of 3 rds and shoot through a chronograph regularly. The best velocity I have is 3050fps with 63.5gr r22 and 162 SST's. Best group is .87", and average is 1.23" of a cabelas sled at 100yrds. I have moved the seating depth in roughly .020" increments to acheive this. .020 up or down makes 2.25-2.5" groups. I was considering making smaller adjustments to seating depth. What do you suggest? Am I on the right track? Rotumbo and r25 do not break 2950, and grouping sucked. I have only done in the past what was taught and read or experienced. Since reading this forum I realize I have a lot to learn. What would you guys suggest? [/QUOTE]
