[QUOTE="Culpeper, post: 2706617, member: 12583"] I've gotten lazy over the years but seating is key. To be brief, I use the barrel length optimal time formula. Reconcile that to QL. Run up 20 loads in .3 increments to find a node. Then seating tests for accuracy on that note. This generally will get me on the bench sub moa pretty quick. The only problem is this will produce a MV that is a little slower as the next fastest barrel time results in MV that is slightly too high for QL. But the results are surprisingly accurate on target, all things considered. I'm satisfied with .75 moa but usually can get below .5 moa. Seating depth test is from jammed to .02. long skinny high BC bullets may need more. That is just me using a lazy hybrid load work up. [/QUOTE]
