[QUOTE="dsculley, post: 1404959, member: 77514"] Mikecr is right. Seating depth first with reduced load making coarse adjustments to find the seating depth node. Test for powder charge using your preferred method (We could debate the best method for this as well but would just be re-hashing the subject as has been debated many times). Fine tune your seating depth, fine tune your powder charge. The advantage of this is you wind up with a very forgiving load. Usually, as you fine tune your seating depth and powder charge in the last step all your groups will be good, just that you will wind up with a combination that is best. So if your powder charge is off a bit, or seating depth varies a bit the resulting group will still be "good", just not "best". When I have found a good load using this method, I can just throw my charges without weighing for some activities. Or I can spend more time and weigh each charge for more precision shooting.
