I have been scouring You Tube, this forum, articles, etc and have a good grasp on the reloading process from a beginner's perspective. I have a Hornady Lock n Load classic single stage kit on the way.
I understand the principles behind seating depth but it starts to get really advanced from my perspective. Will my Hornady reloading manual give me a simple COAL to measure so I can get shooting right away without tuning seating depth? I certainly want good accuracy but my Tikka T3x 6.5 isn't very picky and shoots tight groups. I don't want to load the cartridge long where I would have to load cartridges individually. I figured I could measure my Tikka T3x magazine and now the Max COAL for my particular bullet combo.
Is the bullet comparator and getting technical on seating depth a necessity starting out?
