I did some seating depth testing with 2213sc and 129gr projectiles. It looks like you will need to adjust it between 2209 and 2213sc. Initially it looks like 2213sc noticeably more accurate. I hope...

I did a comparison of 2209 and 2213sc with 129gr bullets. It may be of interest to you: https://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co.nz/f10/6-5x55-se-sanity-check-61340/index2.html#post1062511
