[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2382235, member: 1521"] In a general sense; While off-the-lands(OTL), best seating depth is about best bullet-bore interface. It's a coarse prerequisite, similar to best primer, that has nothing to do with tune. Powder is your tuning adjustment, and it's fine right to the kernel. That's not to say that you won't collapse a tuned powder load with a bunch of seating changes. You will. You need to steer clear of that with seating testing, so that seating (itself) is more purely in view. Picture a ping-pong ball fired into a lexan bore with an airgun. Under high speed camera you could see the ball rattle around a bit on entry -for some starting distances. But for certain distances, the ball slips right into bore smooth as ice (very consistently). That's what full seating testing finds. [ATTACH type="full"]324403[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
