[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1455014, member: 7999"] There is two pretty strong opinions on this. My method is based on our bullet. The fact that our bullet rarely needs to have seating depth adjusted makes it easier. I figure out my longest functional seating depth. Work up a load in increasing charge weights one shot one charge, always with a chrono. Once I find upper weight I then shoot multiples to verify good es and collect a good average vel. Then shoot for a group and zero the rifle. If the group is not acceptable then I will start adjusting seating depth shorter, 1/4 turn on standard die, and repeat until group comes in. With Hammer Bullets it is very rare to have to make a seating depth adj. Others it is much more common. Steve [/QUOTE]
