[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 836215, member: 22069"] Many people view the powder charge workup at the "coarse adjustment" in the system and the seating depth workup at the "fine adjustment". There really isn't a wrong answer. You can do it either way. I switched to doing the seating depth test first because I found that the optimum seating depth stayed the same regardless of powder and primer used. Establishing the seating depth first allows me to experiment with different powders and/or primers without the need to tune seating depth each time. The second reason I started testing seating depth first has to do with the effect that seating depth has on pressure. If my best accuracy node in my powder charge workup is found right at the edge of max pressure, but my optimum seating depth requires me to seat the bullet deeper, I run increased risk of overpressure. Establishing seating depth first allows me to run up to max powder charges with a little less risk, IMO. [/QUOTE]
