[QUOTE="Tiny Tim, post: 3103482, member: 87887"] I like the Berger method (or some variation of it based upon bullet profile). I also do coarse seating depth testing prior to powder tuning. I have found that large variations in seating depth (=/>0.015') can cause enough velocity change to move into or out of a "powder node", which may be interpreted as a good seating depth when its not. Once this is established, unless you are inside 0.010" OTL, 0.006 either side of your coarse seating depth won't have much effect on velocity. [/QUOTE]
