[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 1104769, member: 10429"] You can do either one, either powder or bullet seating depth. It has been my experience with 3 rifles to do the seating depth first and then powder. Once you find an accurate seating depth you can increase the powder charge. Finally you may do some small tweaks with seating but for me that has not been the case. Also it seem there is somewhat of a slower accurate node and faster accurate node with the faster right at book max are slightly over. From things I have read its a barrel harmonics thing as the bullet travel down the barrel. Reason for doing seating depth first it was faster and less shouts down the pipe. The first gun I owned, I did the powder first which was a 30-06 and it seem to take for ever to get it tuned in. I went up and down the powder range and then went up and down the seating length. I was cutting my teeth on this gun and I was a little new so some of this was probably that but the next 3 I used seating depth first and it seem to reduce my shot count greatly. . I know somewhere in the post there was a really good write up on this same topic. I followed the advice and it seem to work really well. I also shot bullet a 300yrds at large poster board on a sheet of plywood. this gave me enough area to really see what the changes were when changing the seating depth.
