[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 975861, member: 50867"] I've read that before but, based on my own experience, there is no known hard data to support the theory of this being the better process. I've always found that a primary goal of establishing an optimal MV accompanied by reasonable accuracy without excessive pressures was the way to go. Then I look at seating depth and, if necessary, fine tuning the powder charge as the last finicky detail. If I start with seating depth and things get too close to the lands the powder charge I might seek for the higher velocity may not allow me to remain within safe pressure limits. My new loads start at .020 off the lands. When I've accomplished the primary goals I work at .006 increments closer (.014) and further away (.026) from the lands in search of indicators of progress on the target. When I determine which seating length direction holds the greater promise I work in 002 increments in that region to fine tune to my [U]<[/U] .5 - MOA standard. That's it. [/QUOTE]
