[QUOTE="dsculley, post: 1701184, member: 77514"] Try the Berger test first with a safe powder charge. You will most likely find at least 2 nodes where the groups tighten up. Pick the node that works best for your magazine and then start your powder test. You can probably still tweak seating depth a bit once you have your powder charge, but the adjustment will be much finer at this point. I believe that you can make most any powder charge work by finding the seating depth that works best with it. The problem with this scenario is that if you seating is not near perfect then it goes out of tune. If you find the seating depth first then tune your powder charge you wind up on a more forgiving node. At least that has been my experience. [/QUOTE]
