Description
We're back at the range with the 25 Creedmoor, this time focusing on seating depth testing with the Berger 135-grain Long Range Hybrid Target (LRHT) bullet.
After working through powder testing and load development, we're taking a closer look at how changes in bullet seating depth affect accuracy and group consistency.
How sensitive is the Berger 135 LRHT to seating depth? Is there a noticeable improvement as we adjust bullet jump, or does the combination perform consistently across a range of seating depths?
Components used in this test:
Cartridge: 25 Creedmoor
Bullet: Berger 135gr LRHT
Powder: Alliant Reloder 16
Primer: Federal 205M
The objective is to evaluate repeatability and determine whether seating depth adjustments produce meaningful improvements in accuracy—not simply chase the smallest individual group.
Have you tested different seating depths with the Berger 135 LRHT? I'd be interested in hearing what you've experienced.
