Hornady 155gr. TAP

I decided to load some @ 10 thou off the lands and got a .630 (I called the third shot off. It would have been in the .3's) and a .365 3 shot group and then I shot another 3 shots and it was about 1.5" so I gave it a fourth shot and it landed on top of the first. I figured maybe I was still a little to close to the rifling so I backed off another 5 thou, and shot a .243 three shot group. I stopped there for the day. I am shooting a SAVAGE M10FP McMILLAN with a loopy 6.5-20 VXIII. The load is 45.0gr. Varget and a moly coated 155gr A-MAX
Yes, I agree that these particular bullets should be seated as close as possible. .010 is reasonable.
My rifle gives groups that hover a little over .25 with 45.0 grains Varget, out of a Federal case, ignited by a Federal 210M. I seat to 2.810. Obviously, all of these things are unique to my individual rifle, but it goes to show that the 155 AMAX really works.
