[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 815123, member: 13833"] Agree with Mike. My process with my wildcats is this. Determine max load. Back off three or four grains and try several seating depths, depending on bullet style, I seat from approx. .010" into lands to as much as .120" off of lands (this would apply mostly to VLD's) tangent ogives usually work well approx. .020" off of lands, give or take. Shoot groups to determine best seating depth for that bullet and then start adjusting powder loads up to find your best accuracy/velocity combo. At that point, you should be able to try different powders using the same method only forgetting about seating depth. It should remain the same with the same bullet.....rich [/QUOTE]
