[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 1813041, member: 34818"] I have done a lot of reloading and do a lot of longrange shooting. I’m just trying to get guys in here to chime in what they think and then debate it a bit because I find it interesting. The seating depth shrinks group size and powder charge shrinks ES can’t be entirely true in theory. Have you not ever noticed when you are load developing and say 63 Gr of H1000 shot 1.5” at 400 yards but 62 Gr and 64 Gr shot crappy? The seating depth didn’t change the groups because the seating depth didn’t change. The powder charge changed. It has to be a combination of the right powder charge and the right seating depth. Just wondering how people start out when they do a seating depth test first. [/QUOTE]
