I have a CZ Varmint and I am getting ready to start loading for it. I know with the CZ you have to load short to get the rounds to fit the mag. I know all guns are different but I didn't if you guys were just loading as long as possible on the OAL or are you playing with seating depth?

I loaded mine to fit the mag.

Loading a CZ 527 .204R Varmint to fit the magazine or shorter. Still waiting for time to test more seating depths but one lot under magazine length shot the best accuracy. Unfortunately on a farm when the weather is good for load development is also good for catching up with farm work and that's more important.

Also have a Sako 85 Varmint.

Have not tried seating longer single feed much.

I load mine to the MAX OAL per the load manuals and mine fit perfectly. Besides, there is so much free bore in mine I couldn't load mine to touch the lands if I wanted too.

2.31 drives tack for me with my CZ. that's with 39 gr BK's
