[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1196019, member: 22069"] I normally do the Berger seating depth test at or near a starting charge. It has been my experience that the preferred seating depth will not only hold true while working up the powder charge, but even with a change in powders or primers. I do this test at the beginning of every load workup, regardless of bullet brand and style, unless I am starting with a fixed seating depth (such as mag length on an AR). With rare exceptions, the preferred seating depth has typically fallen somewhere between .040 and .080 from the lands. Below is an example of a seating depth test I did in 22-250 with a 53 VMAX and 8208 XBR, shot in round robin fashion. It turned out this powder charge was very near a node. It didn't matter. The preferred seating depth showed itself pretty dramatically. I have found that to be typical of this testing method. [/QUOTE]
