Question about choosing bullet seating depth...

[Rob01]

Yeah it could be around there but when looking at the velocity for both 50fps is pretty much a wash. With factory 140 ELD ammo I am at 2820fps with one rifle and at 2880fps with the other. Same lot and only a 1" barrel length difference so more than just cartridge come into end velocity.

I completely agree.... Was just saying that all things being equal... I decided to try and get the extra 50 fps. It is a "wash" as you say... that was just the deciding factor for me. The guy from Sniper's hide said in one of his vids... "if you reload, then go with the .260. If you don't, then go with the 6.5 Creed". So, I went with the .260 as I've never fired a factory round through a rifle in my entire life.

Again, I agree .... they are pretty much the same thing. And the critter down range won't know the difference either...
