6.5PRC 156 berger - seating depth OAL/jump

[mauiarcher]

working up a load for tikka t3x 24" with berger 156 and H1000. The SD and ES are great at 58.4grain (12.5 and 5.4 only 3 shots though) but accuracy is not there (1.29"). I started at 2.995 OAL (max for magazine) and lands are around 3.084 so 89thou jump. I have read the bergers like alot of jump. Next range trip I have a few different OAL to try down to 2.955.

What is your preferred OAL or jump? Any one with similar experience?

Thanks

I'm loading .020" off and I'm getting the same groups.

I don't get groups much smaller than that when I shoot 10-30 round groups of any ammo.
