[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2351941, member: 1521"] I believe the most important part of this is that you are not attempting large/coarse seating adjustments from a powder node. You can use any powder/load that will send the bullets. Ideally you would be at a bad powder load, throwing big ~1" groups. Then large seating changes may open up 2" or close to 1/2" etc. I adjust a charge to cause ~100fps below an expected node.. I can back off like this and do coarse seating testing anytime I want. So if powder development brings me to suspect my bullet seating charge was not ideal, then I can go back to a different charge and reconfirm full seating testing. Then go right back to my good powder node and tweak seating for tightest group shaping again. This is what I would do with a bullet change/new lot of the same weight. [/QUOTE]
