[QUOTE="Timeout, post: 1415023, member: 50852"] My point was referring to your statement about deep seating bullets taking up valuable case space needed for powder. I'm simply making the point that depending on the case and powder being used, taking up some of that case space is not necessarily a detriment. I'm not following why you are pointing out you .020" seating depth choice in a response to my quote? I previously had remarked that it makes no sense to begin load testing for a hunting rifle with the bullet seated in the lands.

I let the target tell me how much jump produces the best accuracy. If the powder charge weight is on the ragged edge of over pressure, then of course I would not to seat a bullet excessively deep into the case and use up internal volume.
