[QUOTE="green 788, post: 710656, member: 3781"] when your powder charge is not an OCW charge, then yes, seating will affect your group size severely. For optimal charge weight loads, it's far less important (think about how well factory match loads shoot with an arbitrary seating depth)... Once the powder charge is optimized (by methods I describe on my main OCW site), you can then take advantage of the fine tuning that seating depth adjustments allow. So in short... if you're finding that a small seating depth change ruins your group, you're using a non-optimal powder charge and, as I call it "walking the tightrope to accuracy." The same thing applies to primers... some folks have primer brand sensitive loads, and that too is indicative of a non-optimal powder charge. Dan [/QUOTE]
