I could be wrong but I have always used charge weight to get ES down then fiddled seating depth to improve accuracy....with that in mind I would be looking at somewhere between 59.6-60 going off your results and tune accuracy with a seating depth ladder....just my 2 cents

:edit I see your test was virgin and then 2x fired brass.... 60 does look promising as long as pressure is good, but still say seating depth will tune accuracy not so much ES

Oh well in that case I'll leave it alone and go head shoot some ants ��

nothing wrong with tuning with seating depth....you may go from clover leafs to ragged 1 hole groups....
