[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1734920, member: 101859"] I disagree. Done it many times over. You cant make a rifle shoot the wrong seating depth no mater what powder charge you give it. The idea that you tuned to the seating depth your started at is not something that plays out in my experience. I have done the testing from .020 in to .120 off the lands. The Berger method is moving the bullet so much that its changing pressure as well as exit timing. It painting with a very wide brush, and is more of a poke and hope method. You may get lucky and you may get aggravated. I recommend a methodical approach that will give you a trend to draw data from. [/QUOTE]
