[QUOTE="dakota1tn, post: 776350, member: 15050"] Everybody to ther own opinions but I will say from over 25 yrs of reloading and the little I have learned..... Bullet seating depth is THE MOST CRITICAL THING!!!!!! Im not talking MOA groups. Im talking 1/2 or less MOA groups!!! Also you have to go by ogive!!!!! Tip to base means nothing because bullets are not uniform in that way!! Anyone tht says seating depth doesent mater either hasent set up many guns for long distance or has been lucky enough to have guns tht are great shooters ( I have seen a few of those). Every gun will not shoot the same bullet great!!! I have loaded enough to know certain calibers ( that I have set up) most likely shoot certain bullets best. This is not 100%. If you have a really great shooting gun!!! it will shoot a certain bullet within 1/2 moa with anything yo put in it(powder bullet amount of powder and seating dept).I have seen one of those in 25 yrs!!! Im sure there are several more. If yoiu are trying to find the best load (and I mean the very best load) its all trial and error with all components. IF your happy with 1 MOA then thats not to hard to get. Try going from 1 MOA to 1/4 moa and thats a different game!!!
