[QUOTE="JSHou, post: 1015594, member: 85392"] There's another post on how to find seating depth. A lot of good information on various ways to check your particular rifle (with special tools and without). [URL="http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f26/beginner-help-zeroing-seating-jump-143892/"]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f26/beginner-help-zeroing-seating-jump-143892/[/URL] Seating depth can make a huge difference in group size, so working up a load first and then adjusting seating depth means you'll probably have to start all over again. I would start with finding the appropriate seating depth for your rifle and then doing your ladder test. I chrono at the end so I can calculate bullet drop. Honestly, once I have an accurate load, I am less concerned about muzzle velocity. There is a large window that is still carries enough energy to hunt ethically (and really blast steel and paper :D). Loading data is usually good enough that you can figure out if a load will be in the range of velocity you are looking for. [/QUOTE]
