Loaded up 15 rounds of 140 Hot Cors for the 6.5 x 284 which shot the ELD-X very well last time I tried it, 5 groups of 3 rounds in .3 increments of H4831SC and Fed201M primers , seating depth is .020" off the lands.
Shot them on paper, and the best group is .800" roughly, not to my liking. I expected better from it, I see a couple of groups with 2 almost in one and one flyer, other groups kind of dispersed. I'm sure the bedding has nothing to do with it, since its a custom built rifle from GA Precision.
Should I seat them deeper in .020" - 030" increments plus one group kissing the lands and see what can pop up? I am not at max velocity yet, its around 2900 fps roughly at the moment since its cloudy and no chronograph was used today. Using virgin brass to fireform.
