[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2780357, member: 1521"] When you do actual full seating testing, you will understand. There is no amount of powder change that even comes close to the span you'll see from seating testing. What over 99% of people get wrong about seating is thinking it's tuning. Once you understand that it's not tuning, but a major prerequisite to tuning, it all goes to logical. There are 4 separate phases to load development. 1. PREREQUSITES. This is optimum CBTO, optimum primer for your striking, brass fire forming, optimum sand & fill in your bags, etc. 2. POWDER TUNE. This is OCW, no matter how else you think it. 3. BARREL TUNE. With a barrel tuner you can put barrel tune on top of powder tune, otherwise you likely depart a bit from OCW for barrel tune, with ladder testing at range. Where you can't have both at optimum (which is normal) your choice of either should be range/use dependent. 4. COLD BORE ACCURACY DEVELOPMENT. This is a tweaking of powder to compensate for what ales your system. It can wreck a hot bore tune, so decide what matters for you. But if you're a LR hunter, you should engage this phase so that you're at least informed. [/QUOTE]
