Notes

(IME) Bullet is remarkably insensitive to seating depth for a VLD, shoots well jammed up to .020 off. (IMO)Case fill is low capacity. I can fit ~ 2 grains more powder before I start compressing loads.
Magnum primers produce lowest SD (9.1) and ES (26). (In testing one round ONLY went 2906. Excluding that single slow round, group average is 2927 with a ES of 8 and SD of 3!) .
