[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 908431, member: 1521"] Randy, this isn't and never was true. Hence the pinned thread here: [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f28/getting-best-precision-accuracy-berger-vld-bullets-your-rifle-40204/[/url] I also don't agree that we arrive at the same tune with either approach. If you adjust powder first and at a bad seating depth, you're less likely to spot your best tune. This, because powder is the finest of all adjustments. Seating depth is prerequisite as it is a coarse adjustment. Think about tuning to a radio staion with two knobs, a coarse and a fine. If your coarse adjustment doesn't put you in the fine adjustment band, you'll never reach tune with fine. And when you manage to hit on a station with fine, adjusting coarse at that point will only take you faster away from your tune. There really is a best order to it. As mentioned, once best seating is found, it doesn't change with that bullet. This is the proper coarse adjustment, and with it you can move on to fine adjustment(powder). Primers and primer striking is another coarse adjustment. Don't expect that you can fiddle with either of these and remain anywhere near a previous fine tune. [/QUOTE]
