[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 3039679, member: 10755"] My seating depth testing is done first with a middle load that is untuned, this guarantees that results are seating and not powder. I start at touching, then go in .010” increments away from touching for 5 loads, then, if a test shows really good promise, I fine tune by .005” changes up and down. If none of the tests prove worthwhile, I will try Bergers seating test. I have had some great results from this at .100” away and further, so I don’t dismiss this. Once a seating depth is found, it rarely ever changes with powder, so I then do my powder testing at that length. This shows powder only, then if I feel a gain can be made, I will try different primers. All of my testing is done at 200 initially, then I move out to 600 to confirm results, and I can tell you that sometimes, it falls in a heap… Cheers. [/QUOTE]
