[QUOTE="cabinfever, post: 558177, member: 14101"] The orignal posters question was which variable do you play with first; powder or seating depth. Ten years ago I would have said powder. With the invention of the internet and specifically reloading and hunting forums, we as hunters and avid shooters can compare notes thus reducing the expense of trial and error. My internet research has saved me a lot of time and money over the years and for the most part the information i have gleaned, has resulted in tighter groups in the field. While researching, you will discover that one or two powders will usually dominate as the most accurate powder for the cartridge and bullet weight you have chosen. Start with this powder. Assuming you are doing good case prep, start with .010 back of the lans and do a latter test (.020,.030.040, .050....090) from there. You will notice that one group will be significantly better than the rest. At that point you can play with .005 increments for fine tuning. [/QUOTE]
