[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 1665980, member: 64108"] If you were zeroing you're rifle and it was shooting 2-3 MOA at 100 yards would you shoot a ladder test at 600- 1,000 yards with it ? That is what the seating depth first is for. It is a ROUGH seating depth test, not fine tuning. For instance Berger found in some rifles their VLD's shoot horribly at a given seating depth so they advise to do ~3 shots at 4 different seating depths(same charge) and usually one group will stand out from the others. Then do your load development/ladder/pressure testing and fine tune the seating depth after you have zeroed in on your load. [/QUOTE]
