[QUOTE="Unofficial Gun Addict (UGA), post: 975838, member: 81139"] Hey Big E... You'll probably find that you are going to get a lot of different opinions on this one. One of the main factors which will influence the answers will have to do with the bullet you are using. I just started loading VLDs and the recommendation was to do seating depth... And then powder charges. Seating depths I used were .020, .040, .080, & .120. I found that both .040 & .080 gave me good results, and since I plan to use these rounds in the field, I opted for .080 so that I would have more bearing surface contact. I personally would try a few seating depths (based off others recommendations for your particular bullet)... Pick your best.... And then tweak your powder charges for that depth. You might be surprised with your results. Post your bullet as others may be able to speak directly to their experiences with it. Good luck! Boss [/QUOTE]
