[QUOTE="YZ-80, post: 1724755, member: 109229"] For me, for just about everything I reload for, “closer” (but not too close) is better. Every pet load I’ve developed has been seated between .015” to .020” off the lands and they all shoot well. I chase the throats accordingly. I also pay close attention to neck tension and concentricity. This gives me between .25 to .75 MOA out of every rifle I own. I think the powder choice is more critical. So, at the risk of oversimplification on the topic, I’ll say seating depth has been a “set it and forget it” proposition for me. At the same time, I’m sure there are gains to be made by manipulating seating depth for you guys that are reaching way out. [/QUOTE]
