[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2529296, member: 1521"] For sure you don't need to chase tail, but seating testing can be huge to results, so it usually pays to go with it. It's important that it's carried out in a logical sequence. Otherwise, back to tail chasing. You shouldn't test seating while at a good powder node, because you would be changing 2 things at once with that. You shouldn't test powder while at some random seating, because it could end up the worst seating. So logically, you would test seating (coarse seating) before testing powder. For this, you would do your best to be well away from what you expect a powder node to come in at. Truly, you want your worst powder load for coarse seating testing. You want to put up great big ugly groups. With this, it is very easy to see what seating is doing. Very easy to find best coarse seating. And with that, now you can move into powder/ladder testing with known good seating. It doesn't take a lot of shots for this seating testing, and you can do it while fire forming brass, which should ALWAYS be done before powder testing anyway. [/QUOTE]
