[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2834962, member: 12443"] I would first be asking myself why i chose a 338 cartridge? And my answer would probably be because of its potential for long range performance. And that would mean that more velocity would probably be better than less velocity. So i would load just one round and shoot it into say a dirt pile at 50’ over a chronagraph. Then i would shoot one more round about a half grain heavier over the chronagraph. Than another a half grain heavier, then another, untill he gun told me to stop. Then i would back up a bit and load 3, and shoot those for group. If i wasent happy with the group id change the seating depth, and change it again if necessary before moving on with a powder charge change. As for the magazine, i never use one on my long range guns, but if i did, i would of coarse use that for my seating depth. And i would be testing my groups at 400 yards, not 100. Who cares how well a 338 shoots at 100 anyway? [/QUOTE]
