Hornady Match Bullets - Do they like a jump?

sns2 · #1 09-13-2013, 06:21 PM

Bought some 7mm 162 grain Hornady Match bullets on the way home. Wanted to get a bullet that would hopefully show me the accuracy potential of my new Cooper. No one in town had any Bergers or MatchKings. So Hornady it is

Does anyone know whether they are really finnicky in terms of seating depth like VLD Hunting Bullets which often need a big jump?

Any experiences will be received with appreciation. Not interested in second hand anecdotes though.

I usually load A-Max 10-20 thou off the lands. That where I usually load most bullets though.

10 thou off is where I start.
Those 162 Max's in my 7-08 shot pretty good, 10 thou off, but they behaved like they were a bit under stabilized so I moved to a lighter bullet, of a different make.
I'm a predictable 10 thou off with my .308Win with the 155's, and they shoot very well.
