You might try a seating depth test, especially with the Berger
I did a test with a 6.5 rem mag, 130 gr SSII's and RL17 and the results were
Distance off lands / Average fps / Extreme spread / Standard Deviation
.015" / 3209 fps / 31 fps / 11.67 fps
.030" / 3200 fps / 32 fps / 11.70 fps
.045" / 3186 fps / 23 fps / 9.80 fps
.060" / 3176 fps / 8 fps / 4 fps
.075" / 3170 fps / 27 fps / 11.4 fps
.090" / 3156 fps / 52 fps / 31.7 fps
I think Berger even has a seating depth test they recommend and it is posted around here somewhere. Results were sometimes Bergers like being way off the lands
But my point is you might find a sweet spot that is much further off than your .020"
BTW I have the Pro Chrono and have no problem with it
