[QUOTE="FireFlyFishing, post: 3038845, member: 127412"] Are you familiar with a ladder test? I do a ladder test first to determine my powder charge "accuracy node." I typically find two accuracy nodes before I hit pressure issues. I like to use the higher velocity node if I can. You have to start somewhere with a seating depth. I usually start around .020 from the jam distance in the lands for my ladder test. This ensures awesome feeding and I've found it's just a great place to start…for me. Once I've found my powder charge accuracy node, then it's time to find the seating depth. I highly recommend watching Cortina's vid. I haven't tried this yet, but it is way smarter than the way I've done it in the past…so, I'll recommend this method rather than the way I've muddled with seating depth. Next load I develop for my new .308 will utilize this method. [MEDIA=youtube]oRXlCG9YZbQ[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
