[QUOTE="Deviant, post: 2226091, member: 106404"] This is completely backwards from most peoples loading process. Do a Berger seating depth test and adjust your seating depth for accuracy using base to ogive not COAL while fire forming brass and once you have that done you do a ladder test and adjust powder charge in small increments to find your node. Once you you have your node go back and do seating depth in .2 increments both directions until you have a perfect load or you start over with a different powder or primer selection. Not saying that this is the best way but thats how most people I know and a few well known smiths have told me to do it and it has worked very well for me with my rifles. [/QUOTE]
