[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 2060411, member: 101859"] Seating depth and powder charge can give horizontal. Its barrel harmonics. Some powders seem to create more of a horizontal harmonic than others, RL33 comes to mind. If you cant tune it out with powder charge or seating depth switch to a different powder. Like powder charge, seating depth will have multiple "nodes". You will find multiple places it will tune up. I much prefer to find a good powder charge first, then test seating. When your way off on powder charge it can be difficult to get anything to shoot well enough to pick a winner. The most important part of tuning is starting with the right components for the barrel. Try a few different powders right off the bat, one usually stands out. I'd rather have a little vertical in my tune than horizontal. At least the vertical will help you cut the wind a little.
