[QUOTE="dragon798, post: 1813981, member: 51909"] If I’m working up a load for use in a magazine, I will make it just fit in the mag. Then I work my powder load until I find the lowest SD/ES at the speed I’m looking for. If I’m building a load and I’m not worried about mag length, then I start .030” off the lands and find my powder charge with lowest SD/ES. After I have the powder charge I like then I tweak my seating depth to see where I get the best accuracy. Most of the time it’s between .015” and .030” jump. Finally I will check my accuracy and precision at 500yds or more. [/QUOTE]
