I haven't done a whole lot of Load development with mine yet. Mostly jumping through hoops trying to get the copper fouling under control. R-22 and WS2 combined solved that problem.
Next test is to see if Viht 160 (very clean burning) and WS2 will work. 160 showed very good potential with naked pills but coppered out very quickly. Seven shots and accuracy was gone.
As far as seating depth is concerned I've found mine likes lots of jam. .035 over distance to the lands with a Stoney Point to be exact. Mostly using Nosler 140's so far.
I probably never would have tried jamming that deep if I had not began load development before I had the 6.5x284 Stoney Point case. .035 is full jam with out of the box Lapua brass. I use less tension than that now but .035 still works the best.

Fed Match Primers with VV N-165 under the new non VLD 140 Bergers.
Loaded into the lands of 28"+ barrel 3,200 fps without excessive pressure.
Bullet is very stable out of the barrel. Speed spread is less than 20 fps.
These are the new bullets that Berger has out for testing. They are very easy to tune and shoot excellent.
I am hoping Berger will have first production run soon.
