[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1404912, member: 1521"] The difference in views is in what people think seating testing is, and what actual FULL SEATING TESTING is. Best seating testing is with a reduced load, far from any desirable node. If you do any significant seating testing while at best powder load, you'll be collapsing powder tune [U]while[/U] seating testing. That's 2 changes at once, which typically leads shooters to think whatever seating they pulled out of their butt for powder testing must have been the best. After all, any change from there seems to make it worse.. And wha-la, .020 OTL always SEEMS like the best place to start.. Let me suggest this: If you do full seating testing after powder, and find best seating >20thou different, or come into or off the lands different from as used in powder testing, then go back and start over with powder testing. Yeah, it's tail chasing. But you'll learn while eventually reaching your best. [/QUOTE]
