[QUOTE="Deputy819, post: 1900473, member: 98025"] You’ll get varying opinions on the subject of “Which Comes First.....Seating Depth or Powder Charge”. Search this site and you’ll see that it gets discussed quite often. I’ve always performed seating depth test FIRST as a ‘rough adjustment’ using an arbitrary (minimum) powder charge. Then I’ll carefully and methodically take the rifle to pressure (loading in .5gr increments and using a chronograph) with the components I’m using to see where the ‘ceiling‘ is. Then I’ll do a ladder test (in .2 increments of powder) and look for those nodes. When I find a node I’ll load in the middle of it and use slight powder adjustments on either side as a ‘finer adjustment’. I won’t say that doing it any other way is wrong, but this is what has worked well for me. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/oal-or-ocw-first.242176/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
