You definitely need some type of VLD seating stem when loading these.NRA Basic, Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, RSO

Shot a few groups this weekend. Shotgun patterns. I'll try to post my results in the a couple of days. In the mean time, Johnny over at Johnny's Reloading Bench just tested the 140 RDF in his T/C Compass 6.5 Creedmoor. Following a procedure outlined in the Berger manual, he got his smallest group size when jumping .150 to the lands.

At a COAL of 2.285, I'm .095 off the lands in my BHW barrel. At the same length, I'm .073 off the lands with my AA barrel. My single five shot group with the AA was about 1.2 MOA
Looking forward to BFT's results. It may be that we just won't be load long enough to make this work.Paul Peloquin

I've only run some velocity ladders so far, but a set of 5 charges of AR Comp in .2 grain increments went sub-MOA in my Howa at 2.420" the other day. I loaded up another set with a middle charge to try and get a baseline for further seating depth testing. I would assume that 5 rounds with the same charge SHOULD group better than 5 different charges...
Even if I have to single load them, that's how 90% of my shooting is done anyway- and probably how 100% of shooting with an RDF would go.

I just measured my Howa and I am 1.774 to the lands I am calling it 1.770 for that little bit of grab. Not sure what the COAL would be with the RDF on that Ogive. The mags will take a 2.330, could probably stretch out to 2.4 if one took some skin off the inside of the singe stack mags.
I know that measurement with a 123 ELD gave me a COAL of 2.35.Sticks
Catchy sig line here.

I don't even know where the 130's hit the lands in my Howa. I just eyeballed one to seat the shank/boattail junction about even with the neck/shoulder junction, checked to see if it would chamber, and kept that depth.
My mag takes 2.335". And I did sand the inside of my mag for my .223 Howa. 2.4 is a pretty good guess of what's possible. If you're going to do that, though, be careful. I used a dremel to get into the corners and blew through mine.
I think 123 amaxes were around 2.336" to the lands in my rifle. 2.330" puts them thirty thousandths off, which is just about perfect for my magazine.
