[QUOTE="johnhhernan, post: 1113813, member: 71982"] I have a question for some of you seasoned LR accurate reloaders. What is more important having the exact tenth of grain of powder or being within .005 to .010 of my seating depth. The reason I ask is I loaded 51.8 grains of 4831SC powder and that seems to be accurate for my load so I then figure out my seating depth and I consistently come up with a group at 1.5 inches at 550yds which I'm happy with but I loaded up 51.9 by accident and I didn't see a difference in accuracy but if I shoot 51.8 grains of powder and my seating depth is .005 to .010 off of what i'm used to my accuracy grows to about 2.75 inches. Now you see why ask what is your experience is in this situation. Please enlighten me... John Hernan [/QUOTE]
