Has anyone tried the Type 1 designs seating depth tool yet?

My 6.5 prc tikka loves the Berger 140g elite hunters and can consistently get 5 shot groups around .5-.75 and 15 shot groups around 1.5-1.75.

It shot Hornadys 143eldx and 147eldm ok, was getting right around 1 inch 5 shot groups with them (haven’t tried a larger shot group).

Although I’m happy with how the 140g Berger did on my recent elk kill I’d like something alittle heavier and trying to keep myself from diving down the expensive rabbit hole of reloading. If I can get a $175 tool to help tighten up the Hornady ammo just alittle bit I’d be happy with it.
 
After spending the day pouring over Forms post in the reloading forums I’m just gonna shoot a 15-20 rd group of the 143eldx and 147 eldm and see what the larger group sample looks like compared to the 140g bergers.

Were you unable to find any reviews of the Type 1 tool in the forums?
 
I’m confused. You want to manipulate seating depth with factory ammo? Is this a thing?

Yep, the thought was adjust seating depth to help try to find the sweet spot for some accuracy improvements without having to go full send into reloading.

Sounds like a serious waste of time. Either reload or try new factory ammo.
