[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1919394, member: 2736"] Everyone will have a different take on seating depth that works for them. I was loading lots of ammo trying to find that "best" load for many years until I started resolving one issue at a time. I consider seating depth as a different issue than load efficiency/accuracy so I now work up the load changing only one thing at a time (All seated at the same length). Then when a good load is found, I start adjusting seating depth. Seating depth appears to be more of a bullet barrel relationship and once the seating depth is found for a particular bullet O jive and weight I have not noticed any real change as long as the seating depth is based on bullet o jive. Normally when I get to this stage I am finished with load development and just want to see if a seating depth change will make an improvement. Most of the time it will. So If I have a load with good SD.s , and the barrel likes the bullet shape, weight and velocity, Seating depth is the frosting on the cake. This is just my method and just the way I do load testing to minimize load count in working up to the final load. what ever works best for each is good. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
