[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1009657, member: 1521"] Seating depth is the coarse adjustment. Powder is fine. I test seating during brass fire-forming with a mid press load(any). Like Berger's recommended: 1. .010 into lands (jam) 6 rounds 2. .005 off the lands (jump) 6 rounds 3. .010 off the lands (jump) 6 rounds 4. .050 off the lands (jump) 6 rounds 5. .090 off the lands (jump) 6 rounds 6. .130 off the lands (jump) 6 rounds With best of what I got here, I move into ladder & incremental load development using powder, and then tweak seating a smidge(1-3thou) both directions to shape grouping.
