[QUOTE="Joe King, post: 744899, member: 47325"] Your on the right track. Bullet seating depth is just one aspect of tuning a load. The way I usually go about it is Pick an arbitrary seating depth usually 0.020" off the lands, and a primer Load 5 different charges with 3-5 of each charge, with charges increasing by 0.5gr. (I'm generally working twards the upper limits of the load spectrum so I keep a close eye out for the slightest sign of pressure). Once at the range I will shoot these all in round robin fashion. Picking the charge that shows the most promise, I will then load up 3-5 more test loads using the same number of different primers, 3-5 of each, shoot these round robin, my next step will be to load up 5 more, 5 each this time varying the seating depth, from 0.010 - 0.100, after that I will continue to refine the seating depth. Thats just the way I go about it, how ever you do it just make sure you pay attention to the details. [/QUOTE]
