[QUOTE="Bill Johnson, post: 1009490, member: 84129"] This is for loads for hunting: If magazine length permits, I set initial seating to 0.010 off the lands. Do charge weight work-up to best accuracy. From there you are fairly safe increasing seating depth as pressure increases due to reduced case volume are offset by pressure decreases due to increased distance ogive-to-lands. I've always worked in 0.025 increments. You can also decrease seating depth until you touch the lands, but I consider that a bit risky unless you have an ogive comparator (which I do not). This is the method I've used long before the internet and works for me but may not be the best advice. It's just how I do it. [/QUOTE]
