Terminal ascent seating depth

[Trm82]

I have two boxes of 175 grain terminal ascents and I'm thinking about trying them in a 30 nosler.
Is there anybody that has loaded these and what seating depth should a guy look at just so I don't have to waste so many bullets hunting for a seating depth.
I was going to treat them like a Barnes and start at 0.050" since they look similar to a Barnes unless somebody has some other suggestions.

Perhaps a call to the manufacturer would be best? Sorry, lame answer, but probably the best.

Just send them to me!

I believe they are a lead core bullet so I'm puzzled why you would use Barnes data?

The shank is solid copper. It makes sense

Wish I could find some and be able to share some data. But no luck so far.

Well buddy if these ones don't work I'll sell them to you.
You helped me before so I will help you

I'm shooting them in my 6.5 SAUM at .030 off and haven't had to touch them.

I shot factory loaded 30-06 with the 175 TA. In my rifle they are .0870 off the lands. In three different outings they shot 3/4" or a little better. MV was 2740, finding this bullet has been impossible. Will be interesting to see how they perform when pushed harder.

Finally got my 30 nosler from gun smith.

0.050 " off worked out great once I got the speed up.
I will see if it repeats and call it good.
I only had 100 bullets so don't want to shoot anymore than I have to.
Or do I go hotter? haha
3145 fps now.

Nice group. Did you notice your scope objective is touching your barrel?

It's the removable rubber caps that come with the nightforce.
