[QUOTE="ColoYooper, post: 766828, member: 64765"] I would load up 50 rounds of your favorite load, but seat them all 0.004" off the lands, and rig up a way to bring your press to the range. Fire 5 shots and see how they group. With the press re-seat the next 5 rounds to 0.008" off the lands and see how they group. Continue seating each (5) shot group 0.004" deeper than the previous. The final group would be 0.044" off the lands. You should observe some very interesting groups, some will string, some will be ovals, and HOPEFULLY at least 1 (probably more) will group to your expectations. Note: You could set the seating depths at home to the various depths, but when you discover very early that the 0.008" off the lands is the magic seating depth, you can easily seat the remaining bullets to that while still at the range.
